Spiffy letterboard treatment. Good use of flopping roller trucks.

Supposed to be a NYC Electric Boxcab. With Blomberg trucks. And cut up passenger car or combine sides. I don't know if you could FIX it to LOOK like anything presentable!

It looked to me like a real short doodlebug. Kind of neat in its own way and I would not mind getting it if the leading "1" were dropped. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

Initially, I thought that, too. Until I saw the coach windows extended all the way to the "cab" end.

I did not notice that until you mentioned it but they would easy enough to black out.

Ah, but a Doodlebug, that was mechanical...engine and such. No windows blacked out. Solid sheet. Even an electric, there is a space for controls, and pumps.....just thrown together from bits in the junk box.
