This is cool. I got this original K-Line van NIB. From around the first year of Superstreets.
Western Depot has about 40 original K-Line (before Lionel, before EZ-Street) SS vehicles.
This will definitely not be bashed.
Advantages over subsequent/later models:
- Metal body and chassis.
- Working LED light bar.
- F-N-R e-board with Christmas (lock-forward) switch
- Runs on AC or DC (and the e-board works on either)
- Normal type of center pickups (not those subsequent delicate, made-to-snag things)
- Low price (<$50)
- the most indestructable, kid-friendly SS vehicle ever made
Disavantages
- Ugly, train-like wheels rather than car like wheels with hubcaps as in later SS offerings
- Roadname/paint reminds me that the good die young . . ;-)
