Now for something a bit different:

I got the 3-d printed kit from Interaction Hobbies, based on the rocket sled of Professor Fate in the movie 'The Great Race'

It also comes with the figures standing beside it as well as two seated figures.
I'm thinking of using it as a flatcar load.

Neat little scene. Looks great.

Wowie!!!!! Love the gun, love the movie.

Gun?

I mounted the sled on a flatcar:

I had this depressed center flatcar built and painted for awhile, waiting for a load and I figured, why not?
I used some scale lumber to build the mounting for the sled.

Is the flatcar now self-propelled?

I like it on the flat car but first thing I thought of was a ramp for jumping over a moving train

Scene from the movie:

Now that is something different. Looks pretty good.

Oops, sorry, I meant to say "rocket", but my mind wandered. I had forgotten that they used it to ride in and not as a booster for their car so thanks for the clip, it's been a long time since I saw that movie, really funny stuff.

Looks great on the flat car.

Has anybody done a trial what happened when the rocked sled was ignited when mounted on the depressed center flat car?
