Sorry if this is too off topic, but I thought it was funny. This little roadster is at the Pennsylvania Train Museum in Strasburg, PA.
For sale three window coupe, flathead, black primer, drives nice and straight, ,you can steer it with one finger, corners like it on rails, could use rubber.
Bill, would you happen to have any more pix? Right side of the motor? Interior? Model trains another hobby of mine. Thanx, Gary
NUROADSIR, Your add is one of the funniest things I have read on this site. I humbly salute your Comedic Talent. Hee Hee Hee.
Tell me this is not another "Barn Find" in flat black. This would make an excellent subject to model in 1/8 scale. Peace, Chaz (the elder)
that's cool. i googled Brookville locomotives and found this on their website: Originally founded in 1918, Brookville has a rich history. The company was established by a Ford dealer, Mr. L.A. Leathers, who started installing flanged railroad wheels on gasoline powered trucks and began Brookville Locomotive Works. The idea was to defer from the underdeveloped road systems and take advantage of the better maintained railways in the area. The company went into full-scale production of gasoline and diesel powered locomotives following World War I. During that time period they also produced a variety of specialty rail equipment including: school buses, speeder cars, refrigerated cargo haulers, flat cars, workman's cars, bullet-proof pay cars, and ambulances. The majority of the locomotives, at the time, were manufactured for logging, plantation, and industrial above ground applications. In 1942, Mr. P. Brosius Eisenman, having acquired the original business from Mr. Leathers, sold it to Mr. Joseph Horky, who moved the company to Pickering Street in what had been the Jenks Foundry Building.
