Vic,
Can use the Chariot as a lift to the moutains. String it up with lines and all then all your people will have transportation to and from the hill.

Borracho Railway Official Press Release: Aug 13, 1958
The NCAA, in order to keep up with them pesky Ruskies after launching that oversize tennis ball know as Sputnik annouced they would be testing new proposed space exploration designs in the rocky hills and mountains around our sleepy town of Borracho, and as the only really safe way into and out of the Borracho Springs valley, the RR will get the contract to deliver said devices to the tesing locations. NCAA has gracefully provided these artist rendering from the manufacturers. The Chariot may someday roam the surface of Mars or some other strange world, and maybe one we'll all have a Space Pod instead of an automobile...these are indeed heady times are they not?
Wow.. how long have I been waiting for these model kits to come out:
The Space Pod and the Chariot are both 1/24 scale, so they will fit right in. I was only going to pick up the Space Pod until I found that the Chariot was released the same day I went to go pick the Pod, so I got both. They are made by Moebius Models, link provided:

Man I'm glad I decided to date my layout in the late 50's. I might just edge it up abit now to the early 60's
Have fun with your trains
