Strange but true - Pioneer Seed flatcar

Heres a wierd one. Maybe it would'nt be so strange if i was out in farm country. It's got a strange appeal to it

Being from farm country I once talked to a former Pioneer Seed rep who stopped at the train club one day and in the course of our conversation he mentioned Pioneer train cars that had been done as a company promotion. I've never seen one before the picture you reffered to on eBay and don't know if there are others out there but I suspect that this is one of those cars.

I like it! Trainbuddies has a lot of interesting stuff. I've checked some of it out on their web site.

I'm definitely not a rivet-counter, but don't those pedal cars seem just a bit out of scale? Perhaps they're for the children of Lionel's flagman.

Weird indeed, I have a similar pedal car in black and yellow right here on my desk lettered and logo'd for K-Line - probably worth something if I hadn't taken it out of its box. As Sask noted, it's a tad (a large tad) out of scale - looks to be ride-able by the #45 gateman
