Need Help - What Company Made This | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Bobby OgageOGR Forum Member

This car ran on the New York & North Shore Traction Company, which was a railway on Long Island. I would like to know what company likely made this car, and are there any other photos of a car like it?

G. C. Kuhlman Car Company, Cleveland, OH. I would search google to see if any museum has a surviving example of this car.

Best Regards,

The bottom picture has a G. C. Kuhlman builder plate under the trucks, so we can be fairly certain of the builder. It probably dates from the pre-WWI years. After WWI trends were moving towards light weight steel cars.

I didn't find anything on the New York pages of newdavesrailpix.

Here's a list of preserved Kuhlman cars. I see nothing close.

Thanks for responding guys. My goal is to model this car on an MTH PS2 Brill double truck platform.
