Nice!
Thanks.
I'm really pleased how that pantograph worked out. Picked that up off eBay still in the original IMP box from a long time ago. Seller was not sure it was O scale and I'm pretty sure it's S scale. But, it works just right on this little trolley. I'm going to have to keep an eye open for more of these for future projects.
That is a nifty model! Freelance or a prototype?
Wow! Nice work. I thoroughly enjoy your model work. You never stop to amaze me...
A little heinsight, a lot of effort, and lots of dedication... you have inspired...
Now were is that next La Belle model I have to complete.
BEAUTIFUL!! Only one thing wrong with it...................it isn't mine!

That is sweet!
Martin, that is a beautiful creation. Outstanding detail.
That's super!
Very nice work, like the detail. You may make me want a trolley now that I've seen yours. The cow catcher and the wood slates that lead up on to the roof is what catches my eye. I assume you used a proto-type to follow. The roll of cable on the side, what would that be used for. Nice work. Nick
Very nice little line car! What did you use for the drive mechanism? Do you run with live overhead?

Thanks, gentlemen.
It's free lance & somewhat derived from the old Pittman little work trolley kit with much modified sides and more....
It's all resin with added details from PSC, Wagner, Q-Car, the pan from IMP, and a pole from parts unknown. Some wood bits that came out fo my stripwood stock.
Drive is just the Bowser drive. I'm not set up for overhead running at this time - still have scenery to install and wire goes in last.
Roll of cable is some replacement overhead wire and/or whatever the crew needs it to be,

I'd estimate that total costs are ~$100-$125 for all of the parts plus time and paint. Body shell is 5 resin castings that take some effort to assemble square and then mill a bit for that drive to squeeze in and then be secured by 4 #0/80 screws. Molds are siitting in my shop,
Very nice.
