Alright, looks like someone needs to convert a Sweptline next....

That thing is pretty cool. It doesn't look like it would be too hard to make one.

how does the steering tie in? they didnt show that part. i could see they used the steering wheel to steer but it seems like you would need a fancy transmission type thing to control steering.

found a few shots of one outside the mining museum in Butte.


That is the coolest!

Speeding up or slowing down of one of the tracks to make turns

That thing rules! But how impractical is it these days to be sitting outside in the freezing weather....!

Yeah, those things are awesome! Wouldn't be hard to make it a heated cab. Awesome idea.

One part I liked is the "Horses should NOT be used in deep snow" ... let us proceed by showing you, using a horse in deep snow PITA guys and liberals would have a fit if someone did that in a new commercial. (though I know the horse was fine) I really want to ride around on one of those things!

I found a couple other pics that are pretty good close ups. I really like these things. Looks like it was all steel construction. If you go to this link http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/ you can click the images and see it up close. Though theres no rear shot, they do tell a little bit about the steering.
