    The one with the rear tracks is pretty neat.
    But I have to say, I'm totally digging the Ford stretched crew cab.

    Yup, the boiler in the back to power the pumps, and a huge internal combustion engine (likely gasoline) up front to move it around. The previous version of this would have had it pulled by a horse team.
