trackmaster hit toys ben w/ a front coupler?

i know alot of members do modifications on these toys.
so it goes that there would be some on the market.

however, i found a trackmaster ben with a front coupler.
any info on this?

was a toy like this released in this form originally?

Custom, it gotta be

i'll post a picture.
to beat up to be a custom

i don't know.
i don't dabble in altercations

The telltale evidence is the way the hook is lying to its side and touching the table, best bet...its modified.

thanks, i was searching and it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Definitely custom the buffer beam is cut a little rough on the edges too.
