link For decades the US Army has been experimenting with wheeled vehicles that can have the wheels removed and replaced with tracks. I like to have a few experimental vehicles in my collection, so I converted a junk Roco 1 1/2 ton truck into one of these wheel / track combinations using parts of a Hot Wheels truck and a Matchbox truck.

Be fun driving, two sets of levers for two sets of tracks? I think it would be a challenge to drive! |

The USA army MPs and transportation men had vehicles that could run both on roads and on the railway tracks. Inspection and security purposes. |
