(...) I was planning on taking it to NWBC but it won't be done in time for this year. Maybe next time. Waiting for more pieces to arrive, I do plan on getting it finished in a month or so. (20 years ago, 28-Sep-06, to lugnet.org.us.sealug, FTX)

(...) I think it's a James Mathis design, built by Bruce Chamberlain. But I might have that mixed up with another trolley. If it is a Mathis then you can probably get the plans from him. (URL) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf.sj, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
