krv, I got an email from a friend yesterday, showing these tin cars. I don't know anything about them or who made them. Perhaps you can search the internet for more info on them.
There are a lot more but I am limited to 4.

I have a copy of this book
you take beverage cans and plans for paper models and can build some cool realistic looking stuff.
