Where's the 'Like' button on this thing?

You did a marvelous job on that! And then, to top it off with C.W. McCall?!?!

Some fine work there!

Great stuff Trainboy! And a wonder no one has made these 'rail bikes' yet either? A few years back, people in B.C. I believe made these modified bicycle contraptions to ride on the rails. Problem was, the lines were still intermittently active. But these joy-riders didn't think anything of it, as their bikes were light weight and could easily be lifted off.... But didn't bother to mention if they got caught on a cliff edge or long bridge. :crazy:

With the demise of B.C. Rail - are the tracks still in place I wonder? Great place for these rod-riders and your jeep now if they haven't!

Steven,

There is a velocipede out there somewhere. Maybe on UK TrainSim.

I don't remember where I got it from. I was lucky to remember where it was in my files!

I think that bike is at this Danish site:

I've got a similar rail motorcycle that I must have downloaded there too.

That was a long time ago -- I see you now need to register and log in.

Thanks guys - those are like the things these B.C. joy-riders had concocted. The beer case would have to be changed to Labatts or Molson's though. :dance3:

Sorry it's about two months late, but that looks really good... I was thinking of making one (A YJ) in that form. I have a YJ, so that's why.
