As a Boeing security officer I am surrounded by the trains all the time that come into the Boeing plants. Especially the containers that haul 747, 767 and 777 piecest to Everett. These containers are oversize and the two engines that are used as power on these trains are specially configured to handle the steep grade (steepest in the US im told). Boeing has a very rich railroad industry, especially in the early days that would make for some great modeling. I think the model in the picture would be easy to create. Simply convert a "metal" flatcar, not plywood, and find a model plane of suitibal size to modify. One word of caution that I must say, do not even think of standing outside Boeing property to take photos of the trains. This is frowned upon and your pics confescated all thanks to the stupid terrorists. Boeing.com does have several pics on its website that may be helpful. Maybe one of the companies will see that there is a market for Boeing rail cars and start producing them (hint hint Walthers, Atheren) I mean there are models of the Seattle Sounder commuter train, why not the Boeing cars?
