I looked closely at this one.
Obviously postwar, upturned sides on frame, handrails proper. Odd that one end is a fully operational coupler, the other a dummy.
Not something you see unless somebody has changed couplers or one truck.
Has a horn, so should have had (mostly) operating couplers. Two headlights and fuel tank, eliminates cheaper stripped down versions.
Most postwar Geeps you can buy cheaper than this chassis, complete.
If this one has some special provenance it should be stated (like, Lenny Dean designed prototype with one fixed coupler for evaluation).

How about, "The lights work but this does not run. "
Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have created or made.

I saw that, which is really surprising for Trainz. They don't often actually test these things.
Probably $30 as is, no shell, light rust and scratches, doesn't run.....

Doesn't run? Pay me to put it in the trash.

You can see where battery acid attacked horn relay bracket. Some monkey resoldered the brush lugs. The ground lug is detached from the brush plate screw. How hard is it to re attach for testing????
