HAHAHA wow, now thats more like my kinda train!

Looks like its based on an old Series 3 109" chassis... But it aint the kind of thing I'm planning for one of my future projects Land Rover "train".

Now, is it a 2, a 2a, or a 3 Pete?

Crackingjob, I think we need you to take pics of the chassis and engine bay

:lol: :lol: Now these are what I call Land Rover trains, and the second one litterally IS, a Land Rover TRAIN!

Something Crackingjob should have a go at

Apparently that one doesn't work very well, although I can't remember why not. I can tell you it's a series 2 (or 2a) though

I like that one very much, I bet if they used the front hubs too and coupled it all up so it had 8wd, it would pull a house down in low range

If anyone would like more info on similar unuits, the old chap who sells the plants at the brickworks open days used to convert Jeeps to standard gauge rail during the war.. if anyone would like can ask him for photos etc...?

I understand that the Rover would pull the waggons off with no trouble at all.........................However when it came to stop that was a different thing altogether...............
