 | | MOC: Schnabel car
|
| 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 (...) (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains) !

| 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)

| Well, if you are going to do it, you might as well do it LARGE! I would imagine even the full scale units have certain radii curves they can't negotiate. This is just another one of those reasons we need different radii curves from TLC!!! The 12 (...) (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)
