Just a little tinkering with a favorite set-- 4549, Road 'n Rail Hauler.

I wanted to load the entire trailer onto simple train wheelsets with minimum
mods to the LEGO(R) design trailer.

Interesting work james, I might modify your hitch design for something
I'm working on.
Thanks!

I know this type of freight haul has been worked on by others here in this
forum, but I am admittedly pretty bad at keeping track of links to MOCs.
Could someone point me toward other "trailers on train trucks" MOCs?  I'd
love to refresh my memory about other designs!

Cletus Romano built some RoadRailers a few years ago:

There are pretty nice and actually stay on the track even with his
notoriously high rate of train drivin'  :)

That's great!  Thanks for pointing them out.  The scale looks good.

later,
