…with brass car sides.

Those sides are for an ACF cars, and this guy plastered them on to a Walther’s P/S built 4-4-2 Hotevilla carbody. He didn’t even bother to curve the end skirting or add grabs. The underbody, end and roof details are completely wrong. He has had a couple of Santa Fe passenger cars on eBay, and all of them are WRONG. And all for a low, low price. They may be worth it if done properly with core kits and the appropriate details.

Low price starting at $134? All that and it does’t look like it has an Interior.

3

Wow! Gonna watch and see if anyone buys that one. WOW!

I was being facetious about the “low price”. I don’t believe he has ever sold any of them. You can get one in brass (Soho) cheaper.

5

Even better…
