Clearance car

[Dave S]

Is there a kit or RtR version out there? Anyone ever scratchbuilt one?

I'm currently working on one using an old Tyco searchlight car. It is sort of patterned on the one at the B&O museum but from what I gather these things were mostly one of a kind contraptions.

Well sonuvagun! I saw something like that once but never knew there was a prototype for it! We'll be watching for pics Dave...
I'm making a clearance car for laying track on the new layout, nothing like that tho.
