I've been waiting for this day to come. Animated stock cars.

Bachmann?  Can't be BLI with see-through sides. 

Duh - I just saw the Boxing Glove coupler.  Must be Bachmann.

The next Railwire challenge will be to combine the Bachmann animated car with the sound chassis from the BLI.

Producing a sound decoder equipped and muzzle flash lighted version of Lionel’s Western & Atlantic 3370 Wells Fargo operating sheriff and outlaw car might actually be profitable.

Meh. I'm waiting for the missile launcher. Or the helicopter car.

I could use a spotlight car.

I've got a toy train side that I rarely talk about in mixed company <grin>.  I go really sideways if there's American Flyer wide gauge involved!

Lowell Smith, back in the day, had MTL run an entire series of Lionel O Gauge "6464" boxcars in N scale.  As the "6464" boxcars were usually included in some pretty neat sets, occasionally I'll get an itch to explore conversion of other Lionel ideas to N scale.

Thanks for refreshing my memory.  I remembered the tiny "Lionel" N scale cars in orange cardboard boxes, but I didn't remember who, or when produced them.  So it was MTL.  I'm, surprised we never hear about them. I would have expected them to become highly prized collectibles, since the series should interest both, MTL and Lionel collectors.  Did they?

Maybe they've held better than the standard MTL car prices.  Original special run price was $19.95 and they go for $40 for a basic one to $60+ for a more desirable scheme.  Most Lowell Smith stuff is about that way though.

I see. So they are in a collectibles price range.  Thanks Mike.

Well this is a must have for anyone getting the Acme Glue Car..

I'll take an Alien car if that comes..

Patiently waiting for Gordon, Emily, Henrietta and Toad in the Thomas line.

I don't think they need to add cattle car smells for realism, but someone probably will.

I just find this interesting how this mfg views the market for N scale.  In general, we seem to be heading to more realism in all facets, and then this comes out....

I'm thinking we should have some of the significate members of railwire scanned and provide 3d prints to insert in those openings.  Imagine Ed waving to you as the car goes by on your layout  LOL

Hey, @Ed Kapuscinski - don't you have a 3D scan of yourself floating around somewhere? @MTLJoe has an idea.

[chessie system fan]

But are we sure it's a wave?  N scale hands are so tiny it's hard to tell.
