At first glance, I thought your Conestoga Traction had no people-catcher, but upon closer inspection, I have concluded it is folded-up at the front, on the right of the photo, huh.

Yup. Folded up tight parked in line with the other cars.

Wish I had a photo of that line car parked behind it!

That is an attractive Main Street!

Bradford's a pretty nice little town, considering it's up in "woods". Got some industry up there, too. Kendall Oil, PennsOil, Zippo Lighters, and Case Knives are a few I can think of.

Bradford is a lucky small town to still have those industries even if they are small.

Silly Dodge mechanic. Holley motorcycle were made in Bradford (1900). Their motorcycle company did not do so well. Something else did? and it's not a Carter.

Androscoggin & Kennebec Electric Rwy Coal Motor #652....

Anybody want to hazard a guess what color this might have been painted or should I just cover the model of this to restore in coal dust.........

Hmmm. You made a model of that and wrote it up for OST.

It looks as though the sides have fold down panels near the top.
For what purpose?

Not quite. The one I made is a far more generic "inspired" model. I have a 2nd one to restore and it is prototype specific to the A&K car.

Unloading to a specific chute downwards, maybe?

Wouldn't it have been easier just to dump the coal in rather than make a cylindrical pile at one end?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :roll: :mrgreen:
