    I Luuuuurve it!!!! I was wondering how the last dog would track going around corners. My initial thought would have had the dogs steerable but it doesn't appear so. I'd love to see one in RL.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    They have been running rigs like that I believe in the South West region of Queensland and the NT? for ages carting stock over selected routes.
    I doubt those however had the sophisticated computerized electro/hydraulics systems I would expect to see used on this rig in populated areas to be able to negotiate turns and corners.
    Very possibly each trailer has some 'steering' capability to aid tight turns.
    It goes without saying that in the short term, the movement of such Road Trains would be restricted to selected routes until the automatic reaction of 'disaster looms' with its operation.

    Wasnt the record for a Road Train about 11 or more trailers behind the Prime Mover?
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    @Hoe, pretty picture, though I wasn't serious.
