The flat car as it sat in the yard...... amongst the "junk"
Bearing blocks, bumpers, side board brackets and brackets for wooden supports.
wheels and axles from where they were put 3 years ago.
Parts in the Shop.
wheel and axle sets on the "rails"
Bearing blocks added.
Close shot of the bearing block. these are plain bearing blocks. meaning the axle rides on a brass piece. on the bottom of the cast is a recess. you back this with cotton waste and pour oil in this hole on the end till it runs out at the wheel and youre ready to roll...... no pun intended
well whats missing?
