I recently came by a good deal on a "G" power truck. I'd like to make it
into a simple "outhouse of flat car" trolley work car to run with my two
Bachmann single truck cars. I recall seeing a photo of such a car built on
an old single trucker chassis, with a single wooden mast in the middle to
support the trolley pole and a crude three sided cab at one end to provide
minimum protection to the motorman. But now I can't find that photo. Can
any of the trolley fans cite a similar prototype? Gary Q

Cars like that were made in the shops for the trolly line. You've got your
memory of what one looked like so go have fun building something for your
trolly line.
Just use the dimensions that you would be comfortable with if you were on
the car and it will look fine.

Hell, I am still trying to find out what happened to the
glacier that covered New York State in prehistoric times, creating
Manhattan and Long Island. Couldn't have been SUVs at fault.

Cordially,
