Yikes! FUGLY!
How many vehicles died to make that beast?
And note they used one of the left-over hood decorations on the side of the 'car'. Brand recognition.

Looks that, instead of RR wheels it just got 4 pins to keep this beast within the rails.

UGLY Definitely , but it has air conditioning!!!!!!
There are more pictures of it in the "White Gold Railroad" book. What kind of radius would it need in On30. That thing would be right at home on the Woodie central.

Thing is probably around 40' long (220" each car originally), give or take. Plan for A LOT of inside curve overhang ( note that the corner tracking pins are at the monstrosity corners).

According to the book the things on the front clip are brooms to sweep the sand from the rails. The original critter gitter for Woodies layout. This thing should have " Beast & Desert Railroad" on the side.
