    Yeah. I recognize it. It is a READERS DIGEST special. The set also had a caboose, cattle car, covered hopper, tank car, and I believe a box car. They are N scale sized, but a far cry from ever being worth while for a runner.

    Best place for these is in the scrap yard, RIP track, or back shops.

    The preferred use is as a rifle target. Or as fodder for dominatrix video's on you tube.

    Interesting. That one's different from the old SP piece of junk that I'm most familiar with.

    Our club received two of these tank cars as a gift. I removed the trucks and frames and mounted
    them side-by-side on concrete risers for our oil depot and added a ladder to the ground and
    connected the domes with a walkway. They were "chemical" tank cars with railings around the domes.
    I think they made a passable structure at low cost.
