6 wide x 112 long with 20 axles.  Schnabel cars are the brutes of the train
world and this one isn't the largest!  They carry large loads; this one was
loosely modelled after a 20 axle owned bt ABB Power Generation.  The real
model can carry 1,000,000 lbs.  My next mission is build something for it to
carry (maybe a transformer or something else HEAVY!), and a standard flat
car to carry the center section of the Schnabel car when not in use.

Nice model, I think you've captured the shape well and you've found a lot of photos of the real thing! I'm assuming part limitations is the reason that you didn't use the real color scheme, I can't help feeling it would have looked better. Are you (...) (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Color me jealous, this has been on my to-do list for a while, I even got as far as trying to mock up the multi-truck bridge bogies in MLCad. They get tall FAST. Why the 20 axle one, though? I'm thinking one of the other ones you can get to (...) (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)
