Ol' Firewood has seen a hybrid on E-Bay and it upset him: > Someone has messed with the natural order....it ain't > right I tell ya..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3111025770&category=487
Well, this here engine was part of a set marketed by a supermarket chain in the '60's. It was uncatalogued and included three extremely rare store imprinted cars, the Ann Page reefer, the Bocar boxcar and the Eight O'Clock Coffee hopper. The company was A&P, also known as The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company of New York. They were once a giant national chain but have since gone out of business. The engine was a specially built hybrid, for this set, by Gilbert. Even in this shape, it's a rarity of the first magnitude. I wrote an article two years ago about this set for the April issue of CTT. Check it out.
