Interesting - I'm glad to see the car now has a pair of correct (or close to correct) Brill trucks. The carbody was beautifully restored, and it really is an historic car though the museum has a very, very short line on which to run it. Previously it had been riding on a pair of homebuilt arch-bar trucks constructed from Bettendorfs, with one axle driven by a motor bolted to the floor of the car via a chain drive. Kudos to ASRM - this is a gigantic step in the right direction! Anyone know where these trucks came from? |
