| Subsequent designs grew in size, starting with the initial 4x4 tractor with three trailers and gradually adding trailers and wheels until it became the world's longest road train. The LeTourneau TC-497 Overland Train MkII eventually had four gas turbine engines in its tractor part, each producing 1,170 hp for a total of 4,680 horsepower and spinning generators to power the 54 motors, one in each of the train's 54 wheels. There were a total of 12 trailers. By the time the Army reconsidered it in 1962, powerful helicopters capable of lifting whatever the Land Train could transport had rendered it obsolete.
