No experience with Lionel or others speeders. Are they single axle drive, or like a geared diesel truck? The ideas are startin'..........

That's a very cool little speeder, someone should model that one!

 

The Lionel speeders have a single axle drive with one traction tire.  Truthfully, I wish they had left the traction tire off, as it's not needed, and when you run over insulated rail sections, sometimes you only have one wheel with power.

 

These are cool, would like to try one in S. Need to do some investigating to find a power truck, TMCC would be a bonus.

I'm not so sure its gone.  The Winnipeg Hydro Mack railbus survives in the Winnipeg Railway Museum in good shape. It would be listed in the Canadian Trackside Guide, but I don't have that available.
