Hi everyone, best wishes for a Sunday and for the upcoming week. After rattler21's extensive offering last week, this feels like its a little light but I thought those of you who collect as well as operate might enjoy this somewhat unusual item.

This is the 1955, Marx # 3975 "A.T.& S.F." stock car. This car is relatively common in brown with high 8 wheel trucks but this one is unique, make in 1955 only. First its color, its yellow but most unusual is the fact that it is on Type B, 3/16 scale trucks to match the Marx scale freights. Marx only made 8 types of plastic cars with scale trucks, most likely to fill out his scale line in its early days. He made 2 cabooses (B&O,SP), a tank car (CSOX) , a flat car (Erie), a gondola (PRR) and a boxcar (B&O) and a Crane car besides the Santa Fe stock car. All of these have the standard 4/8 wheel body but are fitted with the Type B scale trucks. So here he is, a somewhat common car except for the color and the trucks and he is SANTA FE.

Best wishes for a good week.

Don
