Aircraft Parts Manufacturer and "SkyBox" freight cars.

[TTRAK_andrew]

G'day All,
On a totally non-rail related search for info on SpaceX (private space launch company - where most of our PAYPAL fees goes, if I understand correctly) I came across their main `office' on Google maps at 1 Rocket Rd, Hawthorne, CA 90250, USA. A few hundred metres to their left (West)(as on the map), was a rail siding featuring some SKYBOX freight cars.
Google Map site:

This industrial plant is operated by Triumph-Vought and makes parts for BOEING. Apparently Vought has several plants that use SkyBox freight cars, see:

The California site suggests that it would be `model-able' if the focus was on the freight car loading area and the main buildings were all low relief/flats, like with an auto plant or paper mil. It's location in the midst of an industrial area also lends it to being able to be placed on a smaller home layout or even an Industrial Switching Layout.
The SkyBox cars a 60ft(?) flats with special large containers permanently fixed on them and are made in both HO and N Scale by Huberts:

but I don't know how available they are now.
If anyone knows of plans/outline drawings of the containers they should be fairly easy to scratch build and then fit on an existing flat car.
I think that this would be a good way to get some larger and unique rollingstock on to even a smaller layout without stretching credibility.[By the way, you can never get `really unique', or `very unique' objects etc. They can only be `unique' or `close to unique'- English language corruption rant finished!!]
If any other folks have information about aircraft parts being moved on the rail I would be very interested in hearing.
Regards,
Andrew G.
