Yes, I think this thing was shown here once.
Did some research then, this is a Pickwick Night Coach,
that somehow found its way south of the border,
and was converted to steel wheels,
by the capable shop forces of the Sud Pacifico de Mexico.
Interesting model.
If you ask Aunt Google for Pickwick Night Coach,
she will have some info.
Wonder if there is a model in 1:87 somewhere out there,
which I may convert to......

That is not odd,
it is the prototype for every layout...

1966 ?
From the lack of safety barriers,
the skinny tires, and what looks like a front-engine formula car,
I would guess earlier than that.
But a cool photo nonetheless !
