Tony B Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Outof intrest, what would a Jeep tow like this? I read somewhere in a Land Rover blurb that series 2 on rails could pull about 60 tons. Seems a bit extreme though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hadn't thought of that. Unless there was some sort of vacum system to brake the wagons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 What are the two bars hanging of brakets, down either side? I am guessing they are dummy rails to sit the jeep on, so the flanges dont rest on the ground, it the Jeep is lifted off the track. (and it there something stowed on the folded windscreen?)

antarmike Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Would the steering wheel show from this angle. do we think that the steering has been removed and the Jeep is now dedicated for rail use only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
