How often do you have a chance to get a Factory Production Sample? And a very cool car at that!
You are looking at a fun O gauge flat car with fire truck load put out by MTH. It came out in 2003 and does not come up for sale very often. In fact, there have not been any listed on Ebay in over three years at least.
AND BEST OF ALL, this one is a Factory/ Manufacturer Production Sample. It has the matching numbers written on the box and on the underside of the flat car. There is even a tag that I suspect came front he art department.
Factory Prototype numbers 10409A and B232.

If you collect O gauge flat cars, or perhaps rescue, and you do not have this one, you are really missing out. And every collection needs at least one factory sample.
Of course, MTH Rail King cars are fully compatible with Lionel, K-Line, Williams, and other three rail O gauge cars.
