Looks like I'm going to need a new 3462P!

This is what happens when your railroad is "recliner adjacent" and it goes over backwards.  Tongue Tied

Clearly the milkman was a little too enthusiastic when tossing that last milk can out of the car. I wonder if this would be considered as cause for dismissal? Perhaps you need to hire a new milkman for your operating milk car.

Penny, the frame is soft metal. Perhaps you could bend it back into shape with a pair of needle nose and regular pliers. Tabs underneath base can be carefully straightened to to release the "legs/railings". Maybe the platform plate could be flattened between two pieces of wood. Or just get a bigger Hammer. Good Luck.

Got any Godzillas?  Maybe you could have "Big G" sitting or stomping on it!

A couple of months ago I would have just taken it apart, beat out the dents, stripped off the white and shot it with new paint.  But I just don't think I can do that kinda stuff in an apartment.  So, it's a "back burner" project for now.  I can let the milkman throw cans at automobiles for awhile!  Laugh
