Reminds me of an not-so-great idea of the LARC (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo) the successor to the WW2 DUKW. It was for transporting supplies to the beaches from supply ships. There were various sizes, from the LARC V to the XV to the LX aka LARC 60 or BARC. Many V's are still in service as safari vehicles, and some of the BARC's are in museums, as they could carry more than a WW2 LCM-3! Here is one page that has data on all three: http://www.woodtech.force9.co.uk/avh.htm I'd rather have a LCM-3 than a BARC, even if the LCM can't drive up the beach! As for the land train... that last image reminds me of the 'Wagon Trains' that Patrick Tilley used in his Amtrak Wars series... Book 4's 'Blood River' cover is almost identical, 'cept the train has more cabin atop it. They've changed the covers for the reprint, if anyone wants to see a pic, I'll use my new cam to try for a shot of my book cover.
