A RED Engine for a TAN Truck....hmmm?

M920 · Nov 22, 2009

Ok...as requested....here are some ISX 600 installation pics. This turned out to be quite "interesting" since this is a electronic engine. The overall result made it well worth all the effort thought!

Oh....and it gets better fuel milage than the original NTC400!

A ramp, some rail, some crossties and a 45'000 pound winch.....

That is one bad machine! Christmas is right around the corner. Would you mind letting Santa know where he can pick mine up. (don't really need a train but it's a nice touch.)

Moved a 44ton diesel locomotive with a m1000 trailer when in service; loading and unloading was accomplished by digging a sloped hole at the end of the rail and winching the load on and off with one of the winches on the tractor. Had two lengths of rail with spacer rods on floor of trailer. Had to back into "ramp" squared up and centered to align the track on the trailer & ground.

DAAAAAMMMMMM! That is a cool repower! It is 600HP? Didn't think there was a 600 for EGR engines! If you ever need parts, I can get them at cost for you.

srodocker · Nov 23, 2009

wow i do believe i want a 600hp engine...

Trains, Trucks and TurboCharged Engines... What more could boys want to play with :?:

Ferroequinologist · Nov 24, 2009

WOW! as a diesel mechanic and a railroader, I loved the pics! You've got me thinking about finding a m813 frame and building a m818 with a shelter on it too!

Very well done sir! I would love to see your rig in person one day.

Stretch44875 · Nov 24, 2009

That is just all around cool. Very nice looking truck and repower. Is the locomotive a runner? How much does it weigh?

steelsoldiers · Nov 24, 2009

Man, that is too cool for words! I love that big red Cummins!
