pEOPLE WHO WANT OPEN CARS SHOULD REMEMBER THAT ONE OF THE OBSTACLES TO TRUCK SWING ON AN OPEN CAR IS THE RUNNING BOARDSIN THE WAY OF TRUCKS ON A CURVE.YOU ARE NOT GOING TO RUN ONE ON A 9" RADIUS CURVE.I HAVE A KIDDER OPEN CAR WITH WAGNER MAXIMUM TRACTION TRUCKS TO GIVE THR CAR THE ABILITY TO CLEAR TIGHTER RADIUS CURVES.THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO JUST HAVE A SINGLE TRUCK OPEN CAR
THE BEST OPEN CAR IN MY OPINION WAS BROUGHT OUT BY MODEL TRAMWAYS SYSTEM (JOEL LOVITCH) THE MOTOR WAS IN THE BODY AND THE TRUCKS DRIVEN BY SHAFTS.
