They move from town to town, usually hauled by some back-up loco from the loco depot. If this is a one-car exhibition, then maybe make it a one-car exhibition train. Or add other exhibits - maybe some automobiles.

Thanks for the ideas! I like this idea of featuring it as an attachment to other "transfer trip" cars - by itself or other consists of my own design! The other Shell exhibition set is not of interest to me, but I did want to use this car. It may just get it's own special lok ... I seem to have more of those than I need! - Bill
