Almost worth time warping my layout five years into the future, just to include the Aerotrain in the roster.
Is there only one motor in the engine, Pat? I could see where that would greatly effect tractive ability and pulling power, much the same as the performance of any traditional, single motored, plastic shelled Diesel. If that's the case, I wonder how difficult it might be to add power to the rear wheels ?
Speaking of tail lights, I'll bet dollars to donuts that original Aerotrain sketches had tail lights positioned in the 2 overgrown fins, ala GM cars, rather than centered. I deduce that damage susceptibility rationalized having them relocated where a drumhead might have traditionally been attached.
Still, whether it be this set or one of accurate dimensions, it might be worth building that time machine.
