Well we all know about the "west" right ! What do we identify with the west? COWBOYS !! and if you are going to have cowboys you need....COW's! So here are some western stock cars for the post today.
The Marx #59 Union Pacific ... made from 1936 onward, almost to the end of Marx with little change except for using plastic wheels and plastic knuckle couplers post 1953.
For a real "oldie" how about the Lionel 821 stock car from 1915-1916 and 1925-26 another "Union" stock car. The gal about a century old!
The Marx MoPac stock car, this one an operating car when you pull up at the platform a mechanical lever opens the door and a single cow exits. No electric required but all you get is one cow!
The Marx "scale" ATSF stock car, the dull finish suggests this one is pre war - likely made and released in 1941-42. However these "scale" cars were made through the 1950's. By the way they were "S" scale or 3/16" to the foot but remained 0 gauge.
Well that is my "western" post for this week. Hope your week is going well
