    Anyway I'm looking thru some junk boxes and wondering just why some of this stuff was saved in the first. So I find an old passenger car truck, and some thing that I don't know why its here, but its about the same size as the truck frame, so I just kinda of set it on the truck and inverted a new car. But now what is it?

    Judging by the background it looks like we just colonized Mars. Due to its gravitational pull there was a need by the engineers of the first intra-planetary railroad ("The Iper" for short) to have a gravitation geometry alignment car built by Plasser out of recycled railroad cars and instruments from Apollo II.

    I believe that's a speeder for MOW crews in rough neighborhoods. That's an armored bunk car behind it.

    Well Yes It is, off one of those hot wheel size cars which are too big for HO. Not sure what happen to the car, but this piece was in my parts box. It needs some paint on the lights and maybe the tanks too.


    It makes for an interesting MOW car, you mite say its a "Rare One OF A Kind" maybe I should be listing it on eBay for $100!


    The RDC body is one of the old Con-Cor dummy units cut down and mounted on a 200 ton crane chassis. Both units are junk box refugees.
