Ran across these for sale, never saw them before.
LIONEL 6-27844 BNSF WHALE-SCENE ROTARY BATHTUB GONDOLA 3-PACK- RARE- MINT SEALED
Ok, I get it now - bathtub and whales 
, any other sea creatures on these Gondolas from lionel?
Was this artistic license for a group or did BNSF actually do something like that.
Flipper 149 - your clear to take the main.

Look up the road numbers.
rr-picturearchives.net should have photos.
Railcarphotos.com might have something.
Odd how only the "F" is shadowed. Do we know the artist?
I've NEVER seen these before. Wow. Neat. Thx for sharing. Beam me up Scotty!
These and rigging up a Klingon Bird of Prey (lettered HMS Bounty!) to hover over them would be perfect!
Hey Mark
Thanks for the link to the prototype. That is very cool.

Never knew those existed in the real world.

I don't know about gons, but these always reminded me of when we had a Sea World here in Aurora. Every spring Shamu would be flown in on a special plane and every fall there would be pomp at the airport as Shamu went south for the winter.
Ace posted:The Lionel versions are modeled after actual BNSF aquarium cars.
I'm nonplussed here.
This is real?
That's not "transparent aluminum?"
Back when these cars were recently released, there was a thread about them and it seems only 1 actual car exists. That did not stop Lionel from producing a 3 pack, which looks great. All 3 cars have different numbers as I recall.
