Oh boy, does this bring back memories!!. The Car side sets were in all scales, and I have inherited a few cars built with them. HOWEVER; Anyone who was in the Omaha or nearby areas at the time may remember Dick Orr, who built an HO-car the way the Bulletin came to him--folded to fit his mailbox. When Dick built the car, he included a 3--degree bend near the middle, and one truck was skewed with each wheel on a separate axle. The crazy thing operated properly on an NMRA-standard track!!.

The reader could cut them out and make a very unique car that was unavailable anywhere else. Of course the rivets did not stand out to the proper scale distance since the ink was not quite thick enough. Oh the goode olde daze....Ed L.
