Some are models of actual trains, and some are not. It isn't real. The fellow cut two model locos apart and connected them.

Two BL2s. Sort of looks a bit like a GG1. No I wouldn't buy it, but looks like he did a nice job!
Given my budget, I'd be more inclined to build my own. Nifty concept!

Reminds me of the one or more double-ended unique styled diesel switchers built for Ford (those, and the Rock Island cabbed B units) are two diesels l would have to be restrained from buying. But l am safe.....not enough buyers...
Again, very nice job but no. If it wasn't on the N&W pre-1960 roster, I'm not interested.
Because its unusual, probably yes
Yes to both.

The fifth photo down is an actual railcar. However, none of the models represent actual railcars. Look at the second picture: that is $436.05 in today's dollars for a four-pack.

It sure looks like a car that could have existed, though. For a fantasy car, it's plausible.
I've been to Hershey PA a few times over the years and love their products, so if I modelled standard gauge and got a good deal on it, yeah, I might have bought one of these!

Never was a reefer or housecar made for Hershey? Thought l'd seen a old photo, but maybe no.

I would put an entire train of these on my layout! Cool boxcar, great weathering.
Neat looking trucks, whehter they existed in full size or not!
