Well, since no one else is going to carry the flag, I will start out the new
year with this lovely old Playcraft D6100. I traded a Tyco Johnson Wax
Shark to someone here on the forum, and I've never looked back.
Nice old rugged piece, beat to heck and back, it still runs sweet.

Reminds me of bumper cars, or a shoe. Reminiscent of the Italian train
in the classic Spaghetti Western, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
In the opening shot, this little train goes flying through what is supposed to be like
Southern Arizona, or something, buffers and all.

The mention of buffers got me remembering Grand Theft Auto III, there is an abandoned railroad on Portland island containing some flat cars which have buffers, despite GTA3 taking place in an alternate New York (which was called Liberty City). The fact that the game itself was designed in Scotland (DMA Design/Rockstar North) most likely explains why the cars had buffers.
