Boeing fuselage on flat car

[cklx]

Guys,

This week I finished an h0 scale flat car with a Boeing 737 fuselage. As you probably know, Boeing builds the fuselages in Wichita KS and BNSF carries them on special flat cars to Renton (Seattle) where the wings and tails are added and the plane is completed.

The fuselage is offered by WolfboneGames on Etsy.com. It's a 3D print. The 89' flat car is from Accurail.

As 60' flats in BNSF colors don't seem to be available right now, I built this flat car myself. AFAIK the hood contains parts of the tail.

Decals are home made, based on pix in volumes 3 and 4 of "Shipping Planes on Trains" by Andrew Klamka.

Cornelius.

Nice work!

I see these cars pretty often, spotted up either along Airport Way on the east side of Boeing Field or at the South Seattle intermodal yard. Growing up on the east side of Lake Washington in the '70s and '80s you'd see older versions of the cars with the fuselage in two pieces coming south to Renton on the Maltby Turn - an impressive sight on the Wilburton trestle.

Very well done.

That's a slick car load, definitely an attention getter!
