A special cattle car with the addition of a handlers shelter. So that prize bull or, horse could be cared for and travel in style.

I have one like that. It was a Tyco from Christmas of 1970. I don't know how old the tooling was at that point.

My COTW: a vintage operating Devore ho scale metal Dynamometer car:
It actually measures the tractive/pulling power of your locomotive.

Pretty slick Sean. Have you checked any locomotives out with that? Or are there standards that you know of that were created around that dynamometer?

That Dynometer Car needs to be posted under SOTW: "Slick of the Week." That's
the slickest deal I've ever seen. Beats out Micro's Lionel Giraffe Car by a hoot.
This is my brush painted baggage coach. I had run out of pink paint,
Zelda cornered that market, so I had to go with green. It was a Southern
Pacific Daylight in its former life. Sorry Ray, that bright orange was
hurting my eyes.
