By Warren E Henderson on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 07:26 am:Thanks for the photo, Adrian. Just one question, where can I get one of these "T's". Seems to me that it would be a very smooth ride.

By Garnet on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 01:05 pm:Ditto on the spotlight. I've been wanting one for my go-faster-than-I'm-used-to but haven't been able to get one yet. Might have to snag the old oil lantern from greatgranddad's Case steamer that dad has hidden away!
Very Nice.

By DAREL J. LEIPOLD on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 02:31 pm:Is it a 1913? Does the windshield fold forward?
By Gary London on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 02:36 pm:'14; the front doorbeading curves at the bottom, and you can see the little rain shield in the center of the windshield the prohibits folding forward.
By Howard Tobias on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 04:07 pm:It looks like it could go pretty fast, being on smooth rails rather a bumpy road. You wouldn't even need to steer it.

Hey Garnet, Friday is "The Day" !
By Garnet on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 09:35 am:Hi'ya Floyd. Well, your Friday trumps mine .... it's just my normal 3-day-weekend off duty and a surfacing gang awaits me when Monday rolls around. Here's hoping you've got another 40 years post-work to enjoy all your hobbies!

By Robert G. Hester Jr. on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 10:10 am:Hi, Floyd. I suspect those wheels are hollow and not near as heavy as they look.
By Erich Bruckner on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 11:23 am:why even have the steering wheel? or column? Just gets in the way.
By Robert G. Hester Jr. on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 02:03 pm:If the car is steerable maybe they could carry some derailer "frogs" and drive it away from the tracks so trains can pass. At Portland, Maine last summer I saw a model T set up for narrow gauge which had no steering wheel. The steering column tube had been cut off just outward from the dash panel leaving just enough room for the quadrant and shortened spark and throttle rods. Happy T'ing. Bob
