Jet fuselages![8D]
Anyone modeled these?
I read an article a year or two ago on how to build those cars they were riding on. I think it was in Scale Rails, anybody remember it?
The last train show I went to, Hubert’s or Herbert’s or something like that, had N-Scale cars like the first few in the train. I don’t know if he had any in HO Scale. I think it was Hubert’s but I could be totally off. I’m in Michigan, I don’t know if he is local only, I haven’t heard that name before.
The oversized containers are also for Boeing. Their was a Trains artcile many years ago. At that time the box cars shaped like that as I recall. Containers probably make more sense today.
I want to say that I recall seeing a thread here about modeling these particular cars (it may have been a couple of years ago). I will try a search and see what I come up with.

I have a set of the Boeing cars lettered for GN. They were produced by LBF, and I purchased them a few years ago directly from LBF. I beleive that Huberts purchased LBF.

I picked up a kit for the wing containers a year or two from my LHS. Can’t find it now & darned if I can remember the mfgr! The kit was designed to go on a flat (60’ MDC?) looks good - I’ll try to find it. [8D]
QUESTION: in about the middle of the u-tube video there was a gon or flat with round “thingy’s” on it - looked like big hula hoops - anyone know what they were?[%-)]
It probably was a gon with temporary covers. When the Maine Yankee Nuclear plant was being decommissioned a few years ago, they had loads of dirt and low level waste that were going to a facility in Utah (I think). All the cars had similar covers, probably made of fiberglass. The hoops are the stiffening ribs in the covers
Herpa Wings has some 1:200 Boeing 737 models that may work in N scale. They are marketed in North America by Promotex. http://www.promotex.ca/
