My Dad loves garden railways, and he loves cats, so the obvious Father's Day present for him had to be an LGB 94969 ToyTrain cat flashlight wagon.
Yes, it is a flat wagon with a plastic cat on the back of it. The cat isn't fixed down, so you can pick it up, press the button on its tail, its mouth opens to become a torch, and it makes a meow sound.
He loves it.
I would love to have been in the meeting where this was discussed. At what point did it make sense?

Retail items don't have to make sense. You're quite a clever chap and they got your money didn't they? Job done (LOL!).
I own 20 Tri-ang Giraffe cars. Something tells me I'm target market for this sort of thing. There was probably a photo of me in the PowerPoint presentation!
LOL! Any railway wagon that 'does' something is fun. That cat torch thing is fun. Never stop wanting fun - the world has too little now. More power to you - and the torch :)
Fantastic. Worth it for the laughs.
I love it.
