Jim: I shall content myself with having the two essential parts of the Turnerville Trolley -- assuming the pandemic ever ends the remaining components may be found under a table at a train show. I did set it up using the AF car and 0-27 track -- I could get the car to go 40 inches and back but not the 80 inches they advertise. I suppose after 100 years the spring may be weakened.
As a swansong, I mined a few ads from Newspapers.com, including the one from the Buffalo Times in Dec 1921 with, not just a trolley, but a loco, tender, and coach -- might have been interesting to watch. The whole caboodle included a bridge, tunnel and station. The cut was very poor, I did a little manipulation in my picture program. Could it be the combo on the rigid frame I am also attaching?
I wonder if anyone will ever find a box for it or the "Boy Scout Special" mentioned.
John
