Hi all,
Series Landies have been adapted to all manner of uses, be they mobile or stationary, retaining their originality or being near-unrecognisable.
Here's a contraption:

Dan Nemeth converted his Series IIa to run on rails. Dan wrote:
...some pics of the landy I converted for a customer to run on 2' based on New Zealand's logging railways, the conversion has not changed the original landy chassis in any way every thing bolts to the spring hangers as would the axle and then using the original back axle just fitted higher chains run from sprockets that go on the wheel studs drive the rear axle.
The landy can be converted from road to rail in a morning
More info can be found on this website (under special projects):

I understand Bobslandies has part of a Series 1 that was converted into a sawmill powerplant or winch, I have heard of bodiless Landies being sold to make all terrain forklifts, there was a hovercraft Landy too.
Does anyone else have info or photos on weird and wonderful Series Landy conversions?
