This is quite a challenge to model in ArchiCAD. Does it really need to be exactly that train? There are lots of models (for pay or free) that you can import as objects. The best results are generally with 3DS format.

A bit off-topic, but the winner of the 2009 ArchitectJury competition has modeled this whole thing in ArchiCAD, using Mesh and SEO. It is pretty amazing:

Wow! What an amazing building. I hope he will do an interview to talk about how he modeled that. Very interesting design.

Laszlo, thank you for sharing this, but please, start a new threat so everyone will find this winning design.

Going back to the topic. Use Sketchup. Done and done.
