Hand cars...an alternate to trains and street cars...

What trains do you use with your putzes? Do you try to match period? Color? Scale? Any other discussions regarding trains and putzes.

Hand cars...an alternate to trains and street cars...

Post by Howard »

I don’t know why I like hand cars so much…perhaps it’s all the animation…I can tell you that children’s faces light up when they see it…

This is one of “several” I have in my collection…how many do I have?…probably “more than I deserve”…that’s all I’m going to say…

All are Christmas theme colors and figures…

Right now I’m trying to get two more…the yellow and red coca cola version with white polar bears…and the Lionel polar express” one with elves…wish me luck…

Merry Christmas to you all…

Howard…

Did you make the Santa or find it somewhere? Do you still make the wonderful Santas you showed earlier?

Yes, polar bears can do this. You just don't want to be on the station platform when they get hungry. :-)

I think I'm becoming a possible fan too!

The Coca-cola bears did it!
