Hello friends. Been a while since I posted. Just returned from a four month mission trip and didn't have much train time. I'm back and working on a few projects. I am looking to recreate a powered heavy rail truck for my eventual layout. It will be a brandt flat bed. I want it to pull about four cars. I will likely run straight dc on two rails on the layout. I have a little experience with fine electronics but I'm not very well versed. Any ideas of how u can create this or a thread post that covers this. I'm wondering if it's easier to power the rail wheels or rubber wheel axles. The donor vehicle will likely be the norscot 1/50 cat tri axle dump with modifications or perhaps sword western star. Can should house one motor I can "hide" a second in a load on deck.
Any help on this would be great. Thanks guys.
Grant
