It's built on a custom 40 stud drop-down wagon plate

Dude, you rock. This is an awesome model. Sound! Who'da thunk it...

But this part about a custom plate I am not following. It looks to me like it's
built up on a frame made from individual pieces. Am I missing something? Did
you actually cut up a gray drop center plate and I can't tell?

Very very nice work. OK everyone, sell your grey corrugateds to Kev so he can
build up a proper train to go behind it instead of just one car.

The state of the Lego train modeling art continues to advance, we're all
pushing each other on to new heights. Thanks for raising the bar a bit!
