You'll have to provide more information. Maybe some pictures or a video of what's going on.

And Jhect if you can't help in situations like these then don't bother posting at all.

When determining whether to render the model, the engine checks the location of the sprite/model against those of the player/camera. If there is no line of sight between those locations, then the model does not get rendered. If the model is large, you may think it should be rendered because you should be able to see part of it, but what really matters is whether the center of the model (the map coords where you place it) can be seen from the current vantage point.

Use a very big dummytile (at least big as the model) and make it relative to wall facing one of the sides of the subway car (not forwards, not backwards). Be sure the dummytile takes all the lenght of the sector. Lastly, set its statnum to 2 (f8 in 2d mode). The more times the train moves the more the model will be moved outside the sector, but that is noticeable just after 10l minutes of game or so.
