Singin a tune,On a Sunday Afternoon | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello! Dismantling and Tuning up a very cool Old Trolley I found on the dock of the 'bay'.
To my amazement,it ran after I gave it some voltage,and a little push!!It ran in one direction.But after popping the roof off,I found what looked similar to a Lionel E unit!
I gave it a couple shots of CRC,and up comes this arm,moves this black gear.and it changes directions!
Sitting around this afternoon,giving it a good cleaning and tune up!Notice how the brushes and the commutator are vertical!!! I guess whoever produced this figured a way around Lionel's patents!!
I dig this old trolley!I think it might be a Bowser,but I need help identifing who produced this.And who better to ask than you fine people here on the Forum!!! Thanks

Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon...

A good classic from the 'good old days' when times were much more carefree and life was much simpler and maybe the world was a somewhat better place.

Hindsight is always 20/20.
