Uncle Will of Full Throttle: Recently, one of my West Coast Z Friends asked if I would ever consider making COKE cars? To his surprise, my answer was, "I already have them!" I always wanted to model a small COKE facility in Z Scale. When I worked with Harald Freudenreich (FR), I collected a dozen of his COKE wagens. And over the years I collected Z Scale buildings and components necessary to complete the project. At one point, after designing my small "woodchip" car models, I had Bowser make a run of COKE cars for me and anyone else interested. I had Hay Bros. make the realistic COKE loads and piles. Alas, poor health, shipping/supply woes and time, all got in the way, and I made no further headway. But because of my friend's prompt, I've decided to release this run of COKE cars which have been sitting on my shelves for almost ten years! I love these little buggars, and hope you will as well! There are 8 No.s, however, you may purchase them by the 2-pk. if you so wish. (The more the merrier at a COKE facility!) I've weathered the trucks in a grimy ash, and further "distressing" of the model will be left to hobbyist.
