Yea, considering there's only about 100 hundred made, I wouldn't be surprised.  I asked because I never saw them listed on any Lionel Postwar list.

The giraffe cars run on a tubular track ( inside the gargraves ) with other operating cars.

The pink and green St Louis zoo cars were done by  Lionel / Weaver for the Lionel Collector Club of America. Around 100 pink and 150 green.

Nice shots! How do you operate the giraffe cars on that style track? Also, who made the pink  giraffe car?

Thank you!

 Seayakbill:

Do we all agree that this will work?

Get bunches of goose down pillows for the overhang area.

 

Need ejection seats for the engineer....

It better work.  It is based upon a plan drawn up by Timboy which I have followed to the letter.
