What Is This Car For?
 

I thought I'd test the knowledge of our web social group (except Phil B. and Jim S.) by asking for your thoughts on what this flatcar was designed for. Here's a couple of hints:

1) I took these picture today on the Department of Energy Oak Ridge Reservation.
2) This car was used to transport something manufactured here.

:confused:

I think this would be a great kitbash project especially with the load.

Ooh! Ooh!

I KNOW!

I KNOW!!!!!! :eek: :D

It's for delivering BAGELS.

And you thought I was stupid... :p

Just wouldn't you know it that the first guess is it's a Bagel Buggy.

NOT!

Another typical n-scaler response that's always something to do with food.:D Next guess please.

Re: What Is This Car For?
 

OK- I'm going to spill the beans- :D

It was a [THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY], and was built in the year[THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY]. The supervisor of the project was [THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY], who's previous experience was building popcorn bag openers for [THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY].

The car's load, which consited of [THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY], weighed approximately [THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY] and was routed to [THIS MESSAGE CENSORED IN THE INTEREST OF HOMELAND SECURITY] for final delivery.

No need to thank me for clearing all this up for you, it's all in a day's work. :cool:

There we go again, another n-scaler reference to food - popcorn bags. It is NOT a popcorn bag tranporter.

Where's the Keystone Kops when you need them?:mad: I think Phil needs to dive into something besides banana wackies.;)

OK so no one has a single idea about this (except Mr. Bagelman). I can't fathom how no one can figure out what this car transported. Maybe I need to ping the crowd of lurkers out there with some additional clues.

This car in its last use did not carry anything radioactive.

It did not contain a propulsion unit but looked like it had one.

Some folks were determined that it be all wet at the end of its rope.

So...
