New to S Scale. Saw a posting on e-bay for an S Scale? NYC Pacemaker tractor trailer (Item #5988511316) a/k/a Ertl #F248UO. I have one of these on my O Gauge layout! Is this a case of good enough for AF guys, or just buyer beware (or both)? I liked the posting with photo file of Bert the Cop

Tkom and All, The cast floor is most likely a USRA underbody and possibly a roof that was made by V T Shops. I recently sold a built A P car on ebay. I listed a built Santa Fe some months ago but it didn't sell as I recall both had the urethane underframe. They are a lot better then
