That is being listed by a shop in my area. I might have to stop by and see it in person for a good laugh.

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

That is exactly what came to mind. I saw some of those at a Christmas flower show at the Krohn Conservatory this year.

That actually looks like someone butchered two Kato NYC shells, note the passenger pilot...WOW! Surprised some NYC fan hasn't given up on life yet over the travesty.

They're kind of cute though.  Now only if there were the N scale versions of Walther's Oscar and Piker shorty passenger cars to go with them.

P.S.  Maybe the builder read this thread at railroad.net -- Oscar and Piker and other "fun" models  Check out the drawing at the third post

At the time Walthers was considering entering N scale. But the marketing crew went with these instead. This about the same time that they were hawking Penn Central steam loco decals! ;)
