Has anybody modeled a track evaluation train, or inspection train or geometry inspection train?
Likke conrails, or NS's or UP'S version? not SRS cars and such

I haven't modeled these, but the CN has 1501, it's a rebuilt Bud car. You can Google CN 1501 and see photos.
The CN also has rebuilt boxcars that inspect track.
The UP has the EC5.
Google searches for these will give pictures.
Looks like a fun project.

I just build something from scratch since nobody else knows what an NYCT MOW car looks like. Probably built into an old R-7 painted yellow. There has to be 50 or more of these things all doing different assignments.
