How do cars get off the end?

"How do cars get off the end?" My daughter is the happy owner of a lovely illustrated children's book called "Crossing" by Phillip Booth with Illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline. The book has people waiting at a railway crossing counting the cars (wagons) in a freight train. One of the cars (wagons) is an orange open bi-level auto rack with black cars (automobiles) on board (and yes, the play on words between cars and cars is part of the story...) During our night time reading my daughter had clearly been doing some thinking and asked, "How do cars get off the end?"

How better to explain than showing it in miniature? And so was born the latest "completed" project.

Being the extremely happy new owner of Walthers Auto Facility which are no longer available from Walthers and can only be found intermittently on e-Bay or in my case, down the back corner of my LHS! So I had me some ramps and some buildings and other bits, now all I needed was a auto rack... or I could take a page out of early prototype practice and build something on top of a flat car I already have. Styrene is my best friend for this sort of job. Some sketches and a cardboard mock up later, I was cutting up sheet styrene into all sorts of shapes as strengthening became required in various dimensions.

Anyway, everything needs painting (but mostly the white auto rack) and the building arrangement needs to be finalised with access roads (unless I build a long and narrow diorama, but that's another project for another time) so enjoy the pictures that try to tell a story better than my words.

Oh and the answer is: down a ramp that the train backs gently up to or for a train of auto racks, along ramps between cars (wagons) till they get to the end car (wagon), and down the ramp.
