[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mike Rehling</i> <br /><br />I stand corrected. I was visualizing the era I am modeling (1990's-present). I for got the 757's are out of production within the last year or so. When I said "Seattle built" I was speaking of final assembly for the most part. <br /> <br />Sorry for the confusion. <br /> <br />myrail-That is a great looking model you have made. <br /> <br />Mike in Tulsa <br />BNSF Cherokee Sub <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Mike, Just to let you know what does what up here if you want to make your models accurate. The 737 fuselage and parts are shipped from Witchita, KS to Renton, WA where the plane is assembled and made ready to fly. The 737 is then flown to Seattle (Boeing Field) where it is painted and final touches done, the customer takes posession in Seattle. The 747,767, 777, and soon the 787 are all assembled, painted and delivered at the Everett, WA facility (which is the worlds largest building by volume). Boeing would be a good industry to model as there is a lot of rail traffic (especially in the early days) and is a very important indsutry to not only the State of Washington, but the rest of the country as well. The buildings are visually appealling and would look cool on a layout.
