Here is a very cool Pride Lines item--this diecast item was a Banquet table prize at the 1996 Train Collectors Association National Convention in Dallas, 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.
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 Dallas 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.
CONDITION: C-9 to C-10. YOURS will be still sealed in the box with original paperwork. Listing as C-9 due to rubs in the box label. The one pictured opened is my own out of the box. Yours will be UNOPENED as pictured in pictures two and three.
