Who made the car bodies?

Who made the car bodies?

Several look scratch from wood. Others, no idea.

I think the bodies are all scratch from wood. The tank frame, multi-piece, may be some casting the builder picked up at a swap meet.
The only value is trucks and couplers, and since nobody uses PT-1 cast trucks any more, diminishes even that.
If I needed trucks, I'd offer $10, or $15 delivered, and tell him to remove them and pitch the cars.

Opinion.

Decoupage them into a shadow box! Brilliant!

Honestly, it would probably work and some interior decorator would pay 10-fold for it to charge triple that to hang it on a wall in some office.

Did Thomas Industries make anything like that payroll car?

No. Closest thing to that was the Gloor Craft kit which builds a full scale length version of that car.

I used to have a Pay Car in 0. Halloween....Dark brown roof, orange sides, maybe it's still down in the basement in a box. I'll look after grandkids leave this afternoon.

Got an unbuilt one about somewhere, too.
