Well I have to get back to being somewhat productive....so one final offering for the day.....
I hate to sound like a broken record but I love this car too. Then again would anyone really spend the kind of money we do on a car they don't love? Nice heavy flatcar with decent details...the Sherman tank is wonderful. Be careful with all the additional detailed pieces. I forgot to take the mounted "Ma Duce" off of the turret once before putting it away and snapped off the machine gun mount. (I'll get around to fixing it.)
As stated earlier this also comes in two separate 6-car sets. Military train types could make an awesome train with these!
Interesting side note. Mike's must have made a deal with HobbyMasters for the tanks. Don't know if they still make them or not but they offered the identical Huston Kid along with many other very cool 1:48 military pieces. I've purchased another tank from them separately that my LHS had in stock... a slightly different version Sherman with soldiers and pieces. Pics of that included too.....
