Santa Claus Rommel Rod Kringle Cruiser!

[Silvercreeker]

Here we go on my Christmas 2025 build!  Santa must have something that can get him through the Lake Effect Blizzards we get here in Buffalo! So what better than a WW2 Half track. So it looks like a Rommel Rod is the perfect starting point. That in-line 1939 Mercedes engine is cool and some Jimmy Flintstone figures for a bit extra. Less than 10 weeks to get her done for the big man!

Changing it up from military to what Mr Claus would want to bring to Cars and Coffee!  1929 Ford bench seat, tv, reel to reel, telephone and a cb. The tracks looks so much better in chrome, and some Christmas lights for taillights and turn signals.

Did one decades ago. Mercifully got lost in a moving...

I believe it has never been reissued.

Yes, it's been reissued a few time.  I picked this one up for 10 bucks at the RONCON show.  The skeletons were removed, but I did not plan on using them, so no problem.

(sigh) now I have to look for one to vindicate myself. I believe I have at least one of the skeletons somewhere.
