A freelance streetcar based on Bachmann Big Hauler coach. I have several others under construction, including a matching trailer car and a centre access streetcar. The cars are powered by a single Aristo centre-cab drive block with ball-bearing power pickups on non-powered truck.
Kewl! Does it work off the catenary, too?
Really very nice Tim , and your going to have to post the pics that show just how close you are to how a real one looked . I have a home under wire for this one Tim .
Where did you get the bow collector from ?
Dennis,
bow collector is new old stock from LGB from back in the 70’s. It would be simple to power from catenary (addition of power wire and slide switch), but as I will never have an overhead then I did not worry about it.
Tim Brien said:but as I will never have an overhead , Hmmmm , statements like this sometimes come back to us , years later .
