Not a photo, but a video... This guy has built a pair of really unique and beautiful locomotives in HO scale, with a sort of retro-futuristic style:

Sorry Bill thats all I have on the box - I agree its defiantly an Ammo box and its 1st WW looks like someone has removed the original fittings and latches

Would the original fittings been brass? ( less sparks in an ammo store)?
I seem to remember steel ammo boxes from WW2 but maybe they were more cautious in WW1?

It's a bit odd to see two occurrences of a car with exactly the same weathering : THIS is real SF...

Wow, the whole facility has gone to pot, even their VAB.

Seeing how many tiles have fallen off those shuttles, just from sitting there so long, maybe it's a good thing they never sent anyone up in one.

Here's a cool little four-wheel, shorty passenger car from a former narrow gauge railroad in the Atacama desert. It looks like it could only hold maybe 8 people:

I wonder if it uses the Flintstone Braking System?
