Well Jim O'C, why stop at hurting the eyes - let's go the distance and make 'em water outright!

they had the technology to make an actual observation-shaped body, yet they made this observation the same as the Pullmans. Escapes me.

I would hazard a guess at " low cost " production and simplicity in the manufacturing process

Every deviation from the norm cost's $$$'s either in tooling, lithograpy or assembly time , and Hafner making mucho trains for kids, as opposed to us fussy collectors 50 or 70 years later, realism didnt come into it I would say

Bright colours and play-ability would have sold more that authenticity in the day .

I think thats why I like them so much , my inner kid is triggered by this type of thing .
