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

The railway which people forgot
(to build)

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!

Seriously, it isn't interesting...
As it's June the 1st it seemed apt to build one of these.

No Pete,
that's my next MOTY project!
I'm going to say a crane.

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!!
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!

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...

Still LOLing at the duck joke, nice one...............................................
& as for your random deduction from my text....well........
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!
