I just picked up this 740, and it is the variation with the AFL shield and stripes decals and no vent holes by the rocker arm. I noticed that the figures are different heights. One is roughly 1.75" tall with facial details, and the other (one that is covered in white residue in first photo) is roughly 1.5" tall without facial details. I will be replacing both with repros due to the height difference and the fact that the shorter figure is no longer flexible. I am just curious about the differences between these two. Anybody have any info?
Where do you get reproduction parts for the handcar? Mine is missing the latterns. Thanks.
Doug at Portlines has the lanterns as well as other parts for these handcars. Doug is great to deal with.
