Now that would be an eye catcher in any town.
I had a weinermoble when I was young more the size of the bank but where the coin slit is a flat Little Oscar would Bob up and down.
I found it...though this one is missing its pop up Little Oscar. It is a friction toy that is 9.5" long. Cool!

Don. Hallmark made a wienermobile ornament that may get the job done. The cars and trucks they make for ornaments Are close in size for O gauge.

I found a description, 3 5/8" L. Sounds like a cross between HO and O, maybe about S-scale?
The wiener Mobil I recently bought is very close to O scale The wheels are just a bit further apart than the O rails. It fits nicely on an old Lionel flat car. The wiener is about 9 1/2" long. I have considred cutting an opening in the bottom and setting it on a gang car that I have but still thinking about it. Does look cool on the flat car.
Nine and a half inches is the size of my wiener, but it's three inches wide. That would make it twelve scale feet wide at 1:48, far too big for anything that would be legal on the roads. If you consider it to be 1:32 scale, it ends up being eight feet wide, as wide as would be legal on the roads. That makes it 25 scale feet long.
To get an idea of what an 0 scale Wienermobile would look like, the original prewar Wienermobile was only 13 feet long. Postwar versions were 22-23 feet, and the current Wienermobile is 27 feet long.
Here is a copy of my thread.
Thanks

How many of you guys on the forum have Oscar Meyer motorized units? Please note the dog barks are real wiener dogs.
Thanks

This post is just for fun.

That means when someone says "that's to big" to John, it would be incorrect right?
It's just right.
I guess the scale 25 feet and 8 foot wide would be about right, so I suspect the bank I started with was 1:32 scale.
Many of those truck banks are in the general range of 1:32. I have several that I use with Standard Gauge trains.
Here is mine.
Well mine just arrived today. Ok How did you get the bottom off. It looks like
bumpers are the only thing glued. Just keep prying ?
I'd also like to know how you mounted the motorized unit.
Pictured would be great if anybody has some...
Thanks
Bruce..
My hot dog just arrived from the Bay. After looking it over quickly I thought maybe leaving the bottom on and cutting an area on it out for the motor, I am going to use a handcar chassis and motor. MHO
I remember it now, thanks john. from reading the other posts it sounds like you
received the truck and it didn't quite work for you... Well it was worth the try...
Bruce.
Yep Bruce, thanks for the thought, but it has the same issue as the one I have. I'm still chasing a suitable motor or truck, I may be on the trail of one.
