Wow, I finally finished something! I had an old kit of a Walthers "Oscar" lying around needing to be rebuilt. I actually bought the car in the late 1970s. The price on the end of the box said "$6.75", so in today's money it would be around $20. I think it turned out nicely!

Very well done livery. I, myself, would like to someday find one of those just because I find them unique.

Walthers had them in a line of "tongue in cheek" products, so I don't think so, but when did that stop any of us here?

I wouldn't mind doing one in NJ Transit scheme......
Back in the 60-70's some rich guys had their own coach car on NJ transit......

Well done! Hadn't seen one of these done in northern continent livery before. Striking results there.

Nice work, I love the Piker and Oscar models, they may be short but they are long on whimsy!
