That is a great looking model.
I have been tempted a few times to buy something similar to paint up and put in a display case.

Neat! And the signature is a nice bonus...

Reminds me of the trolleys I used to see in Milwaukee, when I was a little kid, and later, in videos from Green Frog. Don't know if they were anything like the IT cars, but I've always liked the IT's equipment, especially the Class B and C freight motors, all in their green and Terra Cotta livery. They were a class act. Good luck--and have fun!

My old Ken Kidder Illinios Terminal/Traction lightweight interurban and Wagner trucks arrived today, both are new in the original boxes. The grease in the Wagner truck was rock, so the drive was sold as non running as it was locked up from that grease. A total tear down and relubriction solved that problem, and I found the trucks signed and dated by Mr Wagner himself, way back in 1965. I then spent and enjoyable afternoon cutting the hole in the cars wood floor and mounting up the trucks. I also blackened the trucks with gun blackener from Walmart. The trucks are not insulated, so they only run on overhead powered trolley lines, which mine will be. Been running the car upside down in my cradle to wear away the varnish on the axles and motor bearings along with adjusting the worm to axle gear mesh for quiet operation. Next is to get seats and other interior and underfloor details to complete the car prior to painting.
