Rather like all that advertising on the side - like the ends and roof design as well. Not a terribly painful modeling challenge, but finding those sideframes for drive and trailer truck might be difficult.

I think that Wagner or maybe Q had a very similar truck but without the third-rail shoe support beam, here is the Q that I was thinking of:

Interesting windows...they almost look like single-sash units recovered from a building of some sort.

Probably just what they are - rebuilt car that was used as a sand car.

A trackless trolley of the Baltimore Transit Company:
I've seen lots of photos of trackless trolleys in Baltimore, but I don't recall ever seeing one in person. All of the trolleys I recall riding, and I rode them right up to the end, were PCCs or something I think they called a Brilliner.

To be honest, the only trackless trolley I've ever seen was one from this set first manufactured back in the 1960s by Brawa and sold in the U. S. by Aristo-Craft:
The local hobby shop had a set displayed on an HO layout atop a loop of Aurora HO slot-car track. I was always fascinated by the overhead and how well the thing ran.

Ft. Dodge, Des Moines & Southern? Huxley looks like a pretty desolate place.

Riding the subway, Brooklyn, June, 1949:
The Dodgers played the Yankees in the World Series later that year. Yankees won in five. I think that kid knew it was coming.
