[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith John the newest GR has TROLLEY plans!!! I plan to build this trolley as an unpowered passenger car. This was done on several small NG RR lines where they took second hand trolley cars, removed the motors, and used them as cheap passenger cars for short travel service. It looks like it fits nicely into the scale of my layout. [/quote] Hi vsmith Would not take much comparing the old GR drawing with a drawing of just such coaches as built by Metropolitan Cammel not modified.. The main differances are the verandas they have straight floor ends and end beams not curved as shown on the old GR drawing don't have the new one yet and railings reminicent of the coaches seen on the western movies. The rest of the coach looks as per the drawing minus the trolly pole and motor block You could also put a short window less other than the top lights and end doors frieght body on the car to match the coach again that was done I have the drawing of that variation as well . That is I think the ideal solution to the passanger needs of the ever shrinking tramway oops! mean railroad [:D] Or any one else who is looking for something a bit different but still prototypical as well. regards Jphn
