General Discussion / Laconia car available
« on: March 26, 2023, 09:42:54 PM »
There is potential that this is a 2 foot gauge (or 3 foot gauge) discussion, but until then, this is what it is:
A standard gauge Laconia double truck trolley from the Laconia Street Railway is available from Seashore. Not sure, but maybe you can buy it for 10 bucks if you have good plans for it. It has a railroad roof profile, so I thought it might be nicely restored as a narrow gauge coach for some line.
Here is the original condition:

And here is what it looks like now in the attached photo.
Thanks to Frank Hicks of the PNAERC for making this information available. There are other trolleys, a caboose, and a boxcar, if you know someone interested:

Not exactly new news (posted on their blog last November) this group has now purchased 5.1 acres on Home Run Road. Land is perhaps the most important early step in making a museum!

Hello,
I think all may enjoy the recent posts about the SR&CL that has been on a new we page for a few months. The line is still running and working to keep ahead of decay and decline. This will take you to the home page. Click on "Updates" to see the latest news and photos.

These sort of photos used to be sent around on a private email list, but now are available to all. Enjoy!
