Oscar Mayer built their first Wienermobile in the late 30's and still has them running all over the country. Did anyone make one in a O scale size? It would be wonderful to have one on the layout. Don

The full scale one is on display in the H.F.M. They also have a plastic car, Mugs, T-shirts Etc.

I think Gunrunner did one. I have only seen one and Captain John has it.
I would buy an o -gauge version
Yes, gunrunnerjohn did make one and I believe it was also command control operated. He posted a video of it here a few years ago.

I don't think Lee ever did one, but someone else had one, which inspired me to create mine. I believe his was conventional, but don't quote me on that.

That's a TRAIN!
"O-scale Wienermobile"
Disturbing question, disturbing level of interest, disturbing vehicle.
How about Moxiemobiles?
How about Moxiemobiles?
I'd have to know what it is first...
Here is mine.
Murphy's Law says I can't find a photo of a Moxiemobile fast, even though I have about a dozen books on vintage automobiles. Someone on here from New England and familiar with the Moxie "softdrink" (I wonder if Cracker Barrel carries it), will have to
produce a picture. It was not a make of car, but was a large statue of a horse mounted on various producton automobile chasses (safety freaks would go tilt these
days) to advertise the drink. Drivers on some sat in the saddle and operated a steering wheel with a long shaft. I think the idea preceded but is similar to the
Weinermobile. I have seen the pictures, but not the vehicles or even the drink, but
I will keep looking for them.
I have the 1/64 scale Hot Wheels and the promo that is 1/25 scale that was a mail away premium. Never seen a 1/48-43 version.....but could be pretty easy to make one!
I had never heard of Moxie, that that's a pretty cool looking car! As Dave says, coming up with the raw materials is the trick. I wonder if that's "street legal"?
