You mean I've got to dismantle another Dozer down to THAT? Ah well. I guess it means more bits for another one or two flatcars.
I do, for some bits.Just take a hammer to it Toot.
When I was researching the loads in pictures or vids, they get shipped in all different configurations, sometimes the blades are carried in low sided gondolas as well. This display walk around shows a typical arrangement with both a D10T and D9R. I imagine the degree of construction completion depends on clearances for whichever railroad it's going to traverse.It would be a fun project though. It all fits on on flatcar, if you look closely (sorry, it's a cell phone shot), you can see the treads on both ends of the car. I'm guessing the big box has the cab in it, and the other boxes are various parts like rollers etc.
Here's what it looks like when it's all together, it's a monster! Hmm, maybe it would take two loads, I don't see the blade, so maybe it shipped separately.

Athearn Genesis and maybe MTH do the HO loco. I have one of the Genesis, but they do it in a flat paint. The prototype as you can see is, or was, kept very glossy.Wow, that would certainly make for a great model wouldn't it? Be a real challenge to do the custom paint on the loco though!
