Fake loco

[TrainNut]

Anybody ever seen one of these? Evidently Readers Digest came out with 'em some time ago. Talk about a piece of junk. The trucks don't swivel, there is no motor, the handrails are grossly oversized and the couplers are poor attempts at best of rapidos. I gave it to my 4 year old to play with and even he did not want anything to do with it. He told me that he couldn't hook it up to anything so it wasn't very fun.

Well there is always the need for a crash site on the layout. Use it as the loco that crashed. Have it and about three other cheap box cars pilled up somewhere. and have the railroad workers out there trying to clean it up.
