If I still had the boxes of train accessories I would take much better pics but they are at the auctioneers. I think the auction is in December but it is not on their web site yet. I have been writing up descriptions for them and that is when I realized I could not find a wagon like that on the web. I appreciate the help anyone can give. I wish I had recognized the cars would be of interest and I would have photographed them separately. There were so many large scenery pieces and train cars that we focused on those instead.
It's fun rooting through memories thats what started me on the matchbox collecting when i found an old truck chassis in the basement of the home i grew up in. then you check e-bay and say oh i remember that .that etc
Mystery solved! Mystery solved! Indeed, Jim68cuda, it is an Opel! It is an Opel Caravan Siku model car. The auction was this week; I attended and grabbed a few quick shots. A friend of mine bought the lot it was in and I may buy the lot from them.
