In order to enlighten a higorant downunderer, what's an Oscar & a Piker?
walthers made these miniature 1 heavyweight truck cars. One was an observation and the other was a regular coach car. They are pretty cool looking.
You must have got yours when they were $11.95, eh.
That's a little cutie, isn't it.
It is a shame the manufactures ignore the more obscure switcher breeds. As well as Whitcombs, it would be nice to see more Davenports, Plymouths and such like.
Thats exactly what I was thinking of. Remote control equipped units are what im planning.
Yeppers, and yet noppers
Where it will be a blue A&P unit, it is a Walthers Bay window unit, without a roofwalk. Lets just say, a more modern unit.
More pics to follow!

That would be a fine train!
Thought it would be a good engine to haul around an Oscar & a Piker!
