Tractors on Flatcars?

[hobo1960]

G'day fellow rail enthusiasts.

I was watching some vintage rail videos last night and was inspired to see if we had any farm tractors to carry on flatcars -- or even better, a set of flats already populated with same? So far, I've not found any but was hoping perhaps someone here knew of such a set? If not, perhaps some interested party might be inspired to make a model?

Loads like these were common throughout the midwest, heading east, when I was young (and certainly long before that). Even today, we have long trains of newer farm equipment that rumble past my house in the spring and summer months. In fact, we know it's spring when we start seeing the "Tractor Trains" on the Chicago line here.

Anyway, here's some 'inspiration'...

I just wish that old kuju tractor model had the right size proportions...

I think it would be awesome to see some John Deere 8R series tractors as loads for flatcars. Maybe even a combine load....
