Frank Ly "What can the gi-raffe do to us?? Puppy Dog Eye us to death?"
Security Car Gunner "But I can't shoot him."
Frank Ly "Why Not! It's him or us!"
Gunner "I know, I know. But see here, this gun was meant for defending against air pirates! It just wouldn't be sporting... aaaannndd the dang gun will'na depress far enough down at this range."

GirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffff...... (Boy, that's a lousy impersonation of an air raid siren.)
Lucky you... You've got one of the cars I desired for my train set when I was a Lad of six or seven.

There's actually a story behind this car... It, my first gi-raffe car and some other Lionel cars were given to me by a buddy who moved out of town in 1976. Over the years, attrition took its toll and I only had the gi-raffe and security cars.
About 5 years ago, I restored both the gi-raffe and security cars to operating condition, and then I figured, well, if one gi-raffe is good, two must be better...
And then things spiraled out of control.

Arrr... Naw Wun SUSPECTS th' big eyed baby gi-raffes. It looks ta me thet the "Security Car" is rigged up with a remote arm, kinda like a Buffalo MPV. -jes th' parfect thing fer grabbing up an unsuspectin' little troublemaker. I knows it's jus' a trick o' perspective, mind Yee.
