I was wondering the same thing too.  Seems like a mixed frieght with a couple of tanks thrown in there. :D (by the way, I'm trainster100 on youtube). ;)

Well blink, you just gave me some luck! A local geep that runs the local switch job passed by! It wasn't 5817 but 3067! The crew gave me a wave, whistle, & a bell! That's a first. Not the crew from when I saw it but still nice.  ;)

Next time put the link of interest in the body of the message, not in the Signature part of the message.

Does anyone know what what is?  Are your referring to the type of locomotive?  Or the type of tanks at the end?  Or the wind turbine nacelles (probably Vestas)?  Or what?  Knowing what you would like identified would be much easier if we had some hint about what you are referring to.

Having said that, I still enjoyed your videos.

Im not absolutely sure, but I bet they are wind turbine "nacelles"..
the nacelle is the boxy bit at the top of the pole, that the blades are attached to.
holds all the gears and such:

What look like containers are actually the nacelles for wind turbines.  From their shape, I believe they are made by Vestas of Denmark, the largest wind turbine company in the world.  The nacelles sit on top of the towers and have propellors at one end.  They house the generator, control computer, etc. and are about the size of a school bus.  A few months ago, I made an N-scale model of one.  The model is over 3 feet high.

The armored vehicles are actually tank recovery vehicles - sort of a tow truck for tanks.
