LEGO Railroad Track Repair Equipment

[Tearloch33]

I was just wondering if anyone has MOCs (or know of any) for track repair equipment? I used to work for a US railroad (BNSF) and did alot of work with track repair. I would love to make up some track repair machines, like a Tamper (lifts ties up, shakes ballast underneath to level the track), Spike Drivers, Tie Replacers, etc. I do have the Level Crossing set that came with a little crane on high-wheels, which is nice. But I would definitely like to see some other ideas. It would make a yard layout fun.

This is a small tamper, but there are plenty of bigger ones that are used for precision leveling of the track. This one is most likely used for leveling ties after repairs (rail/tie replacement).

This site has a bunch of equipment.

Hello Tearloch, check this MOC: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=286905

Not mine, but came across this some time ago. Also, Railbricks featured a MOW MOC (a truck) in one of the later issues I believe.

Let me see if I can find pictures of my Track Repair crane. If I can, I'll post a picture.

Try looking in the Train Tech index, There is loads of different train MOC's which you might find useful

There's a small group on Flickr you might like.

Also from one of my favourite builders on brickshelf.

Make sure you hit up from that page to get to see all the other MOW Mocs

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but it made more sense than starting a new one.

I am currently working on designing some on track maintenance equipment. I am having some trouble with the little bumpers on either end of the machine. I thought I remember seeing a MOC someone posted somewhere with very god solution, but of course, now I can't seem to find it. Here is a picture (someone else's not mine), does anyone have any suggestions on solution, or the MOC.

Thank you,
