Does anyone know is the Schnabel car or a pack with it is being worked on? If they are I would guess it would be one of the harder route types to run due to the size and speed restrictions. Any info would help thanks! PK
Not as far as Im aware, I made a suggestion for it here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/rolling-stock-proposals.19108/
I did not know what a Schnabel car was so I googled it The OP did not answer questions on where it came from but I think this is for Trainz Peter
Dang. Okay. Maybe Dovetail will look at it. I mean, San Clemente to Yucca Ut, over the next 15 years to de commission the San Anofre Nuclear power planet should be a run.
I heard that a Schnabel car was running from the California coast to at least Vegas, explains what they are moving over there
The Schnabel car allows it to carry extremely heavy or oversized loads, such as generators and transformers for power stations, by making the load an element of the car. The two tapered lifting arms that hold the load resemble a bird’s beak, which gave the car its name—Schnabel is from the German for "carrying-beak-wagon" (Tragschnabelwagen). Schnabel is a funny name for a seriously powerful freight car.
Although not of this large size a smaller version is available from 3DZug https://www.3dzug.de/product_info.php?info=p590_uaai-low-loader-flatcar.html It is an 8 axel well wagon for large loads
