Don, here's the F6.  If memory serves it is a Revell 1:48 kit.  I bought it because it had the folding wings and was intended as a flat car load but like the 1:48 Huey I built it was too big for for Lionel traditional flat cars and my styro-foam tunnel. The wings are held in place by that wax used to keep candles straight so I can unfold them and lock them in place if it needs to leave the flight deck.

As for the L.A.S.E.R. set, I picked up pieces of a set for my son at a train show.  The engine a flat car, no load and the caboose sans anti-aircraft gun.  Didn't know I would need a DC transformer but luckily my brother models HO and had numerous starter set transformers.  I swiped the caboose shell because I had plans to make boxcab out of a K-line SP S2 switcher. However I would have to lengthen and widen the shell.  The S2 finally got new life as a USAF switcher.
