General Models trolleys. I have one.
18 bodies, 27 chassis, none tested, various condition.
$200?

Some of those are really, really rough, Whole ends about gone.

Reminds me of the Yellow and Red cars stacked on Terminal Island for scrapping.

$20?

This IS weird. Of course the models themselves were weird too with that primitive rhesus motor etc.
Nice plastic carbodies though. I've seen examples that were hyper-detailed as well as kit-bashed 2 into one 1 to make a longer double truck Birney.
That chassis though mmmm....yeah junk. I still have one somewhere in the traction larder.

I know that Terminal Island photo you refer to well, as I recall it's one of the last pictures in Spencer Crump's "Ride The Big Red Cars."
Sad.

Not worth the electrons to look at it.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

One of the films I have never managed to view for one reason or another, thus my ignorance of the connection! My bad, your good!
