Thanks Jack..
...whatever I paired with this wagon seemed to detract from it`s impact...turns out the K.I.S.S. method still has merit

@perrone1 Thank you Tony 
........If I might access your knowledge bank on this model issue....what is the purpose or function of the protruding "pins" on each wheel cover?
as I took the pics to illustrate my request,I realized that the "pins" are valve stems !!!!.........Boy Howdy !!

Yep; DM was big on that little detail early on as well as using scaled door lock buttons. Back in the day though, their use of realistic door hinges instead of the obtrusive 'dog leg' hinges, was all the rage. That was followed by more realistic hood scissors hinges.

I`ve been aware of the members (justifiable) distaste for doglegged hingery and have admired the hood scissors....but this is my FIRST time being aware of the Valve Stems
