I love those little bobbers. Are the guys inside playing keepaway with the mail?
I bought one at a small show during the summer that has the tiny litttle Lionel "L" on the sides. It's so small that I didn't realize that until after I got it home and looked at it with a loupe. Rossi only made them for a year or two for the Lionel HO line, IIRC.
There was a company here in the US that sold similar painted cast metal figures. They came packaged the same way as what is shown. The company was Authenacast. I know somewhere I still have some of the figures but no longer the packageing. I do have a flat car body that they also released. A small depressed center flat car, cast metal, maybe 34 scale feet long. The car I just reciently but a transformer load on. They also made flat car loads. I have a gererator load that has a cover on it. The cover is part of the casting. They also made a large gear with mounting supports very much like, if not the same as the Selley one. frank toptrain
