Copying the tank sgouldn't be too difficult. Build a framework - Lego is great for this. Fill it with plasticene and level it off. Press the part you wish to copy into the plasticene to make a mold. Then fill the impression with a resin.

American GK and later Walthers produced a version of this later. I think it used an Athearn SD9 frame and GE c trucks. You could also try a Tenshodo spud kit

They come up on Ebay from time to time, but as already said, not cheap

Walthers, and others also sell the Dyna Models Slaughterhouse which had a number of sides of beef. Also I think the Pola model of a butcher's shop had a couple there

Hi Michael, Did you do any alteration on the wheels to bring them an closer to NMRA standards?

Sorry, I meant "Le Shuttle", the car train. After loading it seems that the train drops a few inches. I suppose it has something to do with balancing the load (air suspension?) but would understand it more easily if it was raised off bump stocks, like the suspension on the old Citroens.
