Hey Vern
I got one of those railway Willys wagons down under. Imported it from LA 10
years ago.
Wife got didn't like it though cause it got in the way of the Hoover so had
to stop playing trains with it.
Did I mention it was only HO scale made by Bachman?
Scan of packaging/picture is attached

Dear Friends,
You opened this post against your better judgement,
didn't you?
I saw that pic some time ago at WillysAmerica on his
wish list. I was too fascinated with the railroad
wheels to even notice the extremely rare 4 door body.
How about this for fun with an old Willys? My idea
from several months ago, which I've never shared,
would be to somehow magically aquire a wagon with the
railroad wheels. It wouldn't have to be the 4 door
version. Then all I'd have to do is procure several
miles of railroad track in a highly scenic area with
lots of tourists. You could then rent the wagon for a
few hours on your own private railroad. Wouldn't that
be a blast? Or maybe even a CJ with special wheels
would work, like the military did in the Pacific
during WWII.
So only a lack of suitable vehicles and track and gobs
of money, combined with my wife's common sense, is
stopping me.
You guys should know better than to open any of my
posts, don't you think?
Deep in Thought,
Vern
