| Post subject: | M-405 Brill doodlebug |
I am the former owner of ex NYC M-405 a Brill doodlebug, and ex C> 501 a Brill 'bug converted to a trailer coach. At one time it operated on the Old Colony & Newport Ry. a defunct tourist RR. It then went to the Delaware & Ulster Rail Ride, another tourist RR where it remains. (Still operating?) Can anyone provide me with a scan of the train operating at these two locations? I would like to add it to my web site. (See Preservation) Thanks http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains oldtimetrains@rrmail.com |

Canada & Gulf Terminal which acquired the NYC Bug and re-engined it with a diesel. The 501 was a Brill model 55 gas-mechanical coach converted into a trailer once the 405 entered service. > C> wouldn't satnd for Chicago & > Grand Trunk I'm guessing............... > TJG http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains oldtimetrains@rrmail.com |

Just to let you know, The Old Colony and Newport Ry. is still in operation along Narragansett Bay in Newport, RI. During my last vacation to the Catskills, i saw your doodlebug, it was under tarp and it had a faded paint scheme. It didn't appear that it was operational. markysmooze21@aol.com |
