HARD TO FIND!
You are looking at a very cool Pride Lines item--this diecast item was a Banquet table prize at the 2006 Train Collectors Association National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. This is a super neat accessory--it is a baggage cart you can display with your trains, on a platform, or at the station, and each bag on it has the logo for one of the chapters of the Lone Star Division, the division that hosted the National Convention that year. Each bag swivels on the cart so you can reposition them as we have done in some of the pictures below. They even go side to side.
And if you look real close you'll see some nice touches such as the antique look to the labels on the luggage--just like you'd imagine on those old-school suitcases.
CONDITION: New Open Box. Has two corner rubs on one end of the cart. Stickers show a little age-related yellowing from sitting all these years. With original order slip for the baggage porter. Has never been owned--last one from our warehouse.
It is die cast metal and hand painted, like most high quality Pride Lines items. Size-wise, it is probably more standard gauge than O, but it looks good with any train display.
This limited edition item was only available through the TCA at the National Convention in San Antonio at the Banquet.
The cart is 3.25 inches long, 2 1/8" tall from wheel bottom to handle top, and 1 1/2 inches wide, wheel to wheel.
Do you collect TCA? or PREWAR? Then your collection is not complete if you do not have this gem.
These are tough to find, so do not let it slip by! And as you know, Pride Lines stuff is getting harder and harder to come by each day.
