(...) Do you mean 2 pairs (4 tracks, 8 rails) or just 4 rails (2 tracks, or 1 pair of tracks)??? The picture only shows 1 pair of tracks (in each direction... there's another pair running the other way) Neat device, thanks for sharing! (...)

Hi all, I just posted pics of an interesting vehicle I am hoping to build. It is a special rail-mounted vehicle for picking up and moving the giant radio antennas of the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in New Mexico. The pics are at (URL) (...)
