In essence, you're trying to make something like the prop train they use in 'Hell on Wheels'? Sounds cool! Maybe you can e-mail/call someone who worked on that show?

I just shot the 2015 Canadian SASS Champs where the theme was "Hell On Wheels". Every stage was a railroad scenario, including one that was a engine, tender and car.

Took a lot of effort to create and set up. If it can't stay set up, it becomes a PITA to store.

Best props elsewhere were large rock formations constructed of Styrofoam covered with tinted cement. Two men could pick one up easily.
