VERY early work in progress. Recently saw some photos of actual vehicles used by Russia before, during, and after WW2 that are prop driven snow vehicles--aero sleds. Probably no where near as efficient as a snowmobile but, cool regardless. Trying to recreate one.

    @1gecko , too much drama in the real world that I can't avoid, pretty happy to miss as much as I can in a gaming world.

    @Randomdoggo , hi!
    Haven't been around here nor playing SP much, sorry.
    Automation and BeamNG are what I've been getting my "build stuff" fix from.

    This is probably too big, really, and I need to see if Overload will let me adjust friction.
    These things in real life were sized to carry multiple passengers or freight. One real use was, apparently, mail delivery in Siberia. So, not HUGE but, maybe, pick up truck size or a bit bigger?
    There also were versions with wheels rather than skis but that seems to have been to make these usable in warmer weather and more of a compromise, so I'm trying to avoid using wheels.
    Very early development here, going to keep working at it.
