Reply to "Westbrook cars"

Did not realize Athearn made cars of this construction.  All of them have wood floors, some have metal doors, some plastic, some have metal grab irons and ladder rungs that are nailed to the wood sides.

OK, I had put it in 3 rail as it has a center pickup, but will post it here.  It is a bit furry, I have not cleaned it up any.  The soldered on bell fell off, and part of the valve gear on the right side that was soldered on was off too.  A lot of solder work on this, as is all the locos I have gotten from this fellow.  What you might call and E unit in the tender appears home made to run the two power trucks that were put in it.  The loco does have its own motor, so this must have been a puller in its day, or it ran very poorly.
