RAILROAD HANDCAR, WTB

Here are detailed blueprints--he can build his own.

Where in NC is he? If he ever gets one, we have a railroad he can run it on.

They only weigh 500 or so pounds--a few strong backs could indeed lift it into the back of a pickup!

Uh, I did post this under REAL TRAINS.  In NE Ohio, somewhere....I was at a meet that

was about real railroads, and the show had a ride set up, almost like an amusement

park, on a stretch of track, and they were selling rides on at least a dozen of them,

that I think were out of a local museum?? I was looking for model trains so didn't take

the time to ride on one, obviously not a common opportunity, that I probaby should not have passed up. They were running a passenger train ride, too, behind diesel. I

think I know where a couple are, but one is decor for an Indiana restaurant and not

likely for sale, and the other probably is not either...if still there.  None are handy to NC.

smd4:  I forwarded that attachment with the plans on.  I don't know where in NC,

I got the request second handed..but I will ask...
