I wanna use a jet engine for a load. Is there any fairly sized jet engine that would fit on a flat car? I thought of using one from a larger kit or something.

If you go to Toys R Us ( if you have one ), they have some jet engines for Mater the tow truck, more sized for O gauge, but there are some smaller ones coming out that may work for HO, too. There's a whole section of upgrade parts for large Mater, but I think they're making a smaller gauge selection as well. Worth a look.

HO scale is reasonably close to 1/72 scale for such an item as a jet engine, I think. Might could find a jet engine for a model on ebay.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.
