51 ft wooden Interurban Combine, built by the Niles Car & Mfg. Co., with "Providence" fender. Cars of this type were in service on the Ohio Public Service line, The Lake Shore Electric and the Toldedo & Western.
Excellent! I've been wanting to create one of these and you beat me to it. Would it be possible to do a version with squared-off end windows like the Lake Shore Electric did to their Niles cars in the 1920's?
Cool Volkmar. It is also very very close to the Milwaukee Northern Car. You would have to move the Front doors forward, convert the single front windows to a doubles in the now available space, remove the rear left door, shift the Oval window into its place, and convert the rear left single window into a double. http://milwtransit.org/WP/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/The-New-Milw.Northern-Interurban-Sheboygan-WI.jpg
You may speak about this car http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr0105/mn8.jpg ? I think that could be done by "kitbashing" the different modules in 3D. I have already drawn the front end with its slightly higher center window. But firts let my finish the Ohio versions ...

ReplyDeleteVolkmar,
ReplyDeleteThat's it!
I should show you my 2-D plans that I've made for a Jamestown, Westfield & Northwestern interurban.
I need to add rivets, Underbody details, and turn it into 3-D. That's semester two at our college.
I hope to have it available in N, H0, and 0 scale.
