I'm the guy who always says "there's a prototype for everything 'trainish'
if you just look hard enough" but I think in this case I am not going to say
that. :-) I looked, fairly hard, but have not found one... yet.
However I WILL say that this will really rock if you can pull it off.
The closest real trains come to this would be transfer tables, I think.
Xpost to .trains but left FUT to rtlToronto... maybe some other trainhead
can think of a prototype (but PLEASE do not let the lack thereof stop you!!!)
