This is probably old hat for most on here, but my son convinced me to purchase one of these today from the good folks at Todd's Trains in Wendell (the best train shop in the Raleigh area) and I have to say, this thing rocks.
This is the first military item to join my railroad fleet, and it's simply way cool loading that cannon up with three (presumed) nuclear artillery shells, hooking the car up to my US Navy BEEP (the color matches, though not the service) and delivering a triple dose of good ol' all-American postwar optimism and energy on whatever godless Commies may be approaching my little corner of Arcadia.
The car roof opening and the cannon s-l-o-w-l-y emerging from the opened roof strikes the perfect note of cold war menace.
If you don't have this car I cannot recommend it highly enough.
