Another rail car T

Post by Rich Eagle » Mon Jan 15, 2024 1:43 pm

It looks like an earlier body on a later chassis to me.

First picture; seems it even has a sand box mounted under the running board with a little tap like thingee to lay sand in front of the rear wheel to prevent slipping.

What a great picture ! Wouldn't it be fun to be able to examine it closely all over ? Is it a 1912 that's been patched up with later sheet metal ? Is it a later T wearing that 1912 body ? Is the chassis even a model T at all ?? I think I see a full-elliptic rear spring . . .
