I have a mate who is working over in the mines and got some footage for me of the rigs he sees on a daily basis. All are a Road train set up to transport from the processing plant to the port, or train depot for transport over seas. hope it give you some more ideas for some new builds. I am just working on building my first tipper, but that is for another thread!

Also, check out our version of the road train at the last meeting at WOT Hobbies, in Ringwood, Victoria, Australia. Enjoy.

Just got another video from my mate of a fleet of road trains moving from one construction site to the next. These dual road train tippers, with various prime movers are being used in construction of rail lines. hope you like it, check out some of my other RC videos!
