SO COOL! Perfect for America 250!
You are looking at a very cool item put out by Pride Lines in O GAUGE in limited quantity for the Train Collectors Association in 1989. This item was a special run specifically for the 35th Annual Train Collectors Association National Convention in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania that year.
This is a clever patriotic remake of the 1100 Disney Mickey and Minnie Handcar from 1935-37. This one reimagines the 1100 with a patriotic flair: it makes Mickey into a Patriot and Minnie into Betsy Ross and adds a shiny metallic handcar body with an American Flag. They even had a couple of clever names for the convention and this car: “It’s Valley Forge” and “Valley Forge By George”.
And THIS ONE comes with the original box and ALL the Pride Lines paper! Check out the instruction sheet. There is even a handful of color brochures of other Pride Lines releases which really comes in handy since there is no definitive source for Pride Lines items.
Pro tip: Runs best around 6-8 volts where the bell is synced perfect with the motion of the handcar.
