Brian Austin Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) In the 1950s the Seashore Trolley Museum built a large trailer to cross the country to rescue surplus trolley cars for its collection. They called it the "Highway Monster". It was made of structural steel around a salvaged bogie and frame. I have been wondering for decades the source for the bogie. I'm presuming it dated to the 1940s, but I could never get an answer. This thing was difficult to photograph well, but I did manage to take measurements. Can you identify the make of the bogie?

Brian Austin Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 (edited) Around 1999-2000 I built a replica of its 1950s appearance in 1:50 scale. I had intended to display my Corgi PCC trolley, but that model is too heavy for it. Edited May 30 by Brian Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 FWIW, here are the wheels. Tires are marked 11.00-20. One set of wheels is mismatched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
