I vaguely remember seeing a model of this one time. A really interesting vehicle... basically a Budd RDC railcar with a set of booster engines from a B-36 bolted onto the roof. It still holds the speed record in the USA.

Nice fine, Broithe. The Brits also had their own RailPlane, which was tested in the late 1920s-early '30s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Qamg3C188

A key principle to remember is to ensure that the engines are pointing the right way...

A jet train would need suitable coaches, of course.
