Overland Train Concept
A massive concept vehicle, loosely based on a real vehicle called the Overland Train, which was manufactured by LeTourneau for the U.S. Army in the 1960's. The vehicle was 570 feet long, and could carry 150 tons of cargo over most any terrain. Sadly, the Army thought that newly developed, at the time, heavy lift helicopters made the concept outdated. And, in 1969, the vehicle was scrapped. However, the cab/tractor section still remains, as a display at Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona.

This model is actually a bit more primitive than the real thing, having no real replicated interior or exterior for the cab, and the trailer modules are far more primitive, not featuring drive, or steering. Due to the length and issues with getting the trailers to track straight, driving the thing indoors is virtually impossible. I also found out that the cab unit has all wheel steering, which I did not implement.
