I am inclined to say some sort of plough or crane or inspection car because of the large over hang at one end....

A humongous, rocket powered mamod chassis that can go one MILLION miles per hour and also run underwater.........

Seriously, I do not know. Looks interesting though!

I'm going to say wrong....

It's still far from finished, even more far from finished in those few shots. But I have the skeleton of the device made...

Nope, but it is departmental stock..

In the pics I was just measuring up some bits, it may not actually look like that as finished. Infact it looks like something out of a castle seige at the moment..... Hmm well it will be panelled out in the end. I hope to finish it by winter. :|

I reckon it's the makings of a rail mounted landing craft. Does kind of depend on someone having laid tracks up the beach though so it might be a bit of a flawed plan.

Now I thought my mind was a tad mad at times!! :D

Sadly this is a much more mundane thing, probably quite a few of you have one already.

Yeah having problems with the tilt though at the moment.... Nope again. It's a very normal rail vehicle....

That was never gonna be the right answer! - He's already got a Duck! :D

Hmm, alright then- it's a stunt ramp, tips down on the long end to allow the train to jump random gaps in the track, averting certain disaster.

All you'd then need is a 16mm Indiana Jones character...

As said, still a lot to do. Does look like some sort of castle siege machine but yes it is a Snowplough. Getting prepared early!
