CSX Transportation Powertraxx Model 18-H Tracked Carrier - By Jesse Weigand


Here's some close-up photos of Jesse Weigand's Powertraxx model 18-H tracked vehicle with an Elliott 26 ton, 105 foot telescopic crane. The Powertraxx is shown above and below on site ready to go to work along the railroad right of way. The Powertraxx tracked carrier chassis was built using Roco tank tracks and a scratchbuilt frame and superstructure. Homemade decals and detail parts and pieces complete the model. It features detail parts from Custom Finishing, River Point Station, and Model Tech Studios. Also shown is a lube and service truck built using a River Point Station Ford F-250 pickup with a scratchbuilt bed. The Powertraxx 18-H has been previously featured in Photo Galleries 614, 624, & 625.
