…to meet your whimsical storage and display needs. These were part of a Lillian Vernon set of wall-hung shelves that included, we suspect, a locomotive, train cars and a caboose. We got the cars, and we think they're plenty whimsical all by their lonesome. Heavy duty (3/8" thick painted wood) with less than heavy-duty hooks, but you could replace those or screw them straight onto the walls. Our each is a pair. The open-top car is blue, yellow, black and white with a night sky above it, and measures 13-5/8" long x 12-3/4" high x 5" deep. The car with the top is in red, green, black, blue, yellow and white, with the same night sky. It measures 13-5/8" long x 12-1/4" high x 5" deep. Handy dads could buy a second pair, add a few wooden blocks and dowels plus a lick of paint and make an engine and caboose from the closed-top cars. Kiddles love it when their dads do that.

You get (4) bright yellow plastic rockets, 9" long x 7/8" dia, with soft, round nose cones (bulbs?) for safety's sake, and a tripod gantry. Fine adjustments even allow for accuracy contests. If the neighbors have really high roofs, or you manage to achieve orbit, we've got a (2) pack of replacement rockets.
