Here's a contender to take away my poor Burlington American, Train & Track F-T's crown as Scariest Ever...
The Marx Geep. It is HO-scale...well I mean Marx sold it as HO-scale. This one is Santa Fe. I know you're saying but it's armour yellow and gray...it's UP...no look again Marx lettered it ATSF.
It's up on eBay right now...

That has got to be the most hideous looking Geep I've ever seen.
Just look how the long hood is lower than the short hood.
Those cheezy lookin' handrails,and that goofy frame,and fuel tank.
Thanks,now I want one! Seriously,I mean it.[;)]

....
wow. Just wow.
It's as if porr ol' FM tried to crib SW-GP bastard child using drunk labor.
Was this a joke? Seriously - right down to the paint, was this product ever meant for serious consideration?
Maybe they were just "toying" around with the idea of something like a CF-7, 20 years too early? [:D]
