"Frankencar" 1940's box car with a 1960's AAR truck and a 1970's Symington-Wayne High Speed truck.

Yes I had to add trucks because they were missing when I bought the car for 5 bucks! Operates just fine!

Baby Ruth cars?  I found me one of these at the York show in April.

Can you imagine a Baby Ruth bar so big you could slice it?  I can't!

Then again there's a scene in that 1927 movie "Wings" where a young Gary Cooper's eating a Hershey bar the size of a brick!  

They say the "good old days" weren't always good but wow, they sure weren't all bad!  

[philo426]

So true!
