Bought this at the Cumberland MD Train Show yesterday, mint with OB
I didn't notice until I looked at the pic, the first wheel on the left has no flange

Athearn boxacr, I don't know if this is a regular release or a custom job. I know the real-life car existed:

I have this attraction towards MDC/RNDS 36 footers...
now, do you call this "a car"? Sperry calls it their "Big Car"
this is essentially the Walther's doodlebug with appropriately modified interior and exterior. Correct front truck and rear truck containing the sensors.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

This is an Alexander Mail car I am working on. It has a 3 piece body, (2 sides and the roof with ends molded as one piece) The end platforms and steps are metal castings and the floor is wood.
