Model-T RailcarModel-T RailcarThe ProjectThe railcar project is actually the project of one of our volunteers, who is building a Model T railcar, resembling the SR&RL/Edaville Railcar #2. This car will seat about 5-7 people, depending on size. It has been assembled from various Ford Model T parts. It will have a "turntable" under the car which will allow the car to be rotated so that it can always face fowards.
The project leader is Leon Weeks, for the carbody, and Jason Lamontagne, for the running gear.
Current NewsThe railcar body is complete. Work is needed on the running gear. Wheels have been cast, and will need to be machined.
Photos below are images of the car and its parts. They may take extra time to load.
