Laff no. 2, or maybe a mystery, how Tyco came up with NOT&M for a toy train set “cattle car.”
Maybe a grey builders photo with black letters? Still MoPac was orange to Tyco but Santa Fe stock cars were teal green— I don’t think they knew about boxcar red. So I took a rattle can of rust colored primer to mine in 1968 since it seemed unnatural plus walthers decals. It looked like something worthy of a 7 year old. What is solvaset anyway?
I think the Mantua Heavy is a scaled up narrow gauge car that can be a stand in
