It's not a new idea here in S-Land. Some things are converted nicely, but most aren't. Installing S gauge trucks under an O gauge item works in very few cases. Lionel tried that with their "ducking giraffe" car a few years ago, and the proverbial lead balloon flew better. OTOH, t...
I hope no one has taken my 'gone the next step' as a criticism of the GGD trucks. I feel that at their current price point the GGD cars are a great value and would not expect 'sprung' trucks. Just to illustrate the high level of detail of the GGD trucks I've included (if my f...
However, the roads we were traveling on had the added danger of large trucks avoiding similar potholes, but on the opposite side of the road. This was a game of “chicken” that we all wanted to avoid, especially in the dark. Many of the trucks carry containers which are not tied to ...
RVs and work trucks have both their batteries vented to the outside, either in the engine compartment or on the sides of the vehicle. If you are installing a second battery in a hatchback, or even in a trunk that can allow gases into the passenger compartment, ensure that the battery ...
CES 2024, Hyundai revealed its vision for a hydrogen-powered, software-driven future, announcing the launch of the Nexo hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in 2025. Hyundai's commitment extends beyond passenger cars, encompassing trucks, buses, trams, special vehicles, ships, generators, and aerial vehicles...
In fact, China has not completely lifted restrictions on pickup truck models according to its policies. Currently, pickups in China are classified as light-duty trucks, with significant differences in scrapping regulations and road rights compared to regular passenger cars. In China, pickups will be...
Cars and light trucks account for 60% ofD.S. energy consumption, domestic air carriers 7%, Class I freight railroads 2%, and commuter- and intercity-rail a tiny 0.2%. (ORNL, Table 2.6) On the basis on energy consumed per passenger mile, passenger rail (Amtrak) is 27...
Car factories are massive even compared to most factories which are already much larger than human scale, and are just inherently low density employment centers. Auto R&D also has a lot of space intensive facilities, from prototyping garages to test tracks. It’s harder to places these buildings...
an embedded resistor to draw current between the outer rails. I am not aware of anyone who makes such a wheel axle for 3-rail O-gauge. Adding powered trucks with center-rail roller pickups on every unpowered car to install an internal load resistor would not win you points at the club....
