Thank you so much for your reply and link. The link describes exactly the car that I have. Mystery Solved. I just wonder how many are left? It's a shame my car is in such bad shape. Thank You again for your help. Gary P

The Bachmann combine that I have has a section of the roof that is hinged and lifts up, has a bar midway on the sill that slides down and is spring loaded, The baggage door was off the model when I got it and has a piece attaced on the interior side that is a slide down hinge, and inside the car is a tower that has a spring loaded latch to engage the movable lift up roof section. This car is in terrible shape, partially smashed and the baggage door was loose and detached from the car. There may be missing parts. I tried HO Seeker, and Google and Yahoo to no avail. The photos in at least two catalogs show a combine that looks like mine but shows nor mentions any movable parts. This car appears to have been factory made and not a kit. Must be a rare beast??

The combine I have is a Bachmann and is shown in the catalogs circa 1980. I just wanted to know what the extra stuff inside was for?? Thanks Garyp

I recently found a combine in a junk box that has movable parts including part of the roof, side door and a bar along the bottom sill. I am not sure all the parts are there especially internally. I cannot figure out what this mechanism was for. Any help would be appreciated. Gary
