    I thought this part was most interesting. I never knew these existed! And they come on the newer RRS too.

    Are they available here?

    Cheers

    Stopping it would be interesting, particularly with the angle of the drawbar.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    It was done 65 years ago with a fleet of London double-decker buses.
    The buses were all attached to each other by slack ropes so each started moving separately.
    If my memory serves, the thirtieth bus stalled the Land Rover. (or 'Landrover' in those days)

    Not a bad effort, considering it does not have low range.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Needs to be remembered that it does not take much effort to move rail cars due to very low rolling resistance . be a different story if the rail wagons were on normal car tyres . But must admit it looks good .

    In believe in the next few years the Mutli range TCs will become obsolete...

    Multi speed Gearboxes with 8/9 gears... 1/2 being crawler gears will become the norm...

    Be interesting to see how the towbar would work with a bit of red dust in it.

    Probably like the Toureg electric spare tyre carrier catch. ie Not.
