Spotted this on the French N Forum.
The photo in post #1 shows how a spare loco body can be repurposed for road use.

B.A. Baracas would just love one of those :goggleeyes:
That looks like a faked photo if you look at the wheels some of them are facing at slightly diferent angles if it is real I want one it would be great at going up the hills in High Wycombe in bad weather I could start a winter bus service.

There's a video later in the thread. It looks like it's all wheel steering, but also looks like it's basically a trailer rather than powered.
Looks like the launch vehicle for a Topol ICBM.
Slightly off-topic, but in a similar vein, the Mujahideen "re-purposed" this captured Mil-8 during the Russian invasion:

And this is similar to what it used to look like:

Around the 6.00 mark in the video we can see it can manage R1 curves.
