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.
