Got the nuclear reactor. My wife, kids, and friends have been after me to get one for a while because of being a reactor operator in the navy, and working at civilian nuke plants for 14 years. Was looking for the car to carry the pellets. Saw this video on youtube. Jimmy Trains made his own car and printed it. Looks pretty slick. Since he no longer has the design, I have to get up to speed with my 3D CAD software.
Looks like he has it sized the same as a flatcar, so I have a beginning reference for sizing of the sections. Pretty slick design. May make one that uses a boxcar bottom frame so I don't have to worry about truck mountings.

That is one cool operating accessory. Maybe a should say "hot" with nuclear pellets.

Great career. What a unique feature for a layout. You can build in a 'glow' effect to use when you are in a frivolous mood. Alfred
