Fully Assembled with Fox Valley Metal Wheels and Body Mount Knuckle Couplers
|
|
| The
Model: There are 2 or 3 unique
road #'s available for each paint scheme as noted below. They
are fully assembled with trucks and screwed on body-mount knuckle style couplers. They feature Fox Valley Models metal wheels, crisp details and sharp painting and printing. |
| The
Prototype: The N-5 was the world's first all
steel cabin car. It was produced in 1914 by Lines East
and equipped with archbar, leaf spring trucks and small
tool boxes under their sides. While it was referred
to as a center cupola, the N-5 cupola was actually 12
1/2" off center. It had a brake lever on each end
of the platform instead of the brake wheel. Over the
years some changes occurred: the top lights and the
tool boxes were removed, Ajax brake wheels replaced
the brake levers, AB brakes replaced the K style, and
coil spring trucks were replaced by leaf spring trucks,
new end sills, collision posts and new end railings
were added. The stove and chimney were moved from the
end of the car closer to the cupola. There were a total
of 616 cars built in this era. |
