What is a Trackmobile?
Only the best railcar mover ever built!

Trackmobile is a company that builds small, versatile railcar movers. With the cost of a used unit only $250k-$300k and a new one aorund $400k, it is much cheaper to get one of these versus the million-dollar locomotives you will ussually see. Equipped with road tires, the Trackmobile can easily move between tracks via pavement or gravel surfaces.

This is a Brick Rigs reconstruction of the 4350 Magnum model, which has a wider cab than the more popular Titan model.

Features:
~Accurate lettering and details
~Road lettering for CSX
~Twin axle drive
~Accurate, red coupling hooks
~Tungstun chassis for better grip
~Flashing, red caution lights

Unfortunatly, I could not get the road wheels to be usable in this model. The physics of actuators and axles and everything else would not let me. However, it still looks pretty damned cool!

I am not affiliated with Trackmobile, but I am a fan of their incredible machines.
For more info, visit their website:

My reference is an HO Scale model built by Broadway Limited Imports that lives on my desk.

Got an update:
~Glass colours updated
~Added drive drums on rear axle (See prototype images)

Pavement version with the wheels unfolded:

Okay, so what happened was that the drums on the outside of the train wheels were added before we could attach things to the hubs of wheels, so it was attached to the body and clipped through. When the hub update was pushed out, the outer parts connected to the wheels by some weird way, causing the above issue. I'll get to the road version in a bit. Thanks for letting me know.
