Well, things have changed but the need for traction information and links hasn't, therefore:

The Birney Car

The Wisconsin Railway Electric Historical Society

The On-Line Birney Safety Car Museum

Cya soon!

Here's some current models!

Porto Trams here

Os Électricos de Lisboa


These might be of interest. I would like to see about reskinning the birney (if it is a birney)

And I'm interested in your progress as well, Whitepass. The more streetcars, interurbans, freight motors....the better.

TRACTION!!!

Great info ....

The Book "Traction Guide for Model railroaders" is also Great has info on Lehigh Valley Traction, The Fort Dodge Line, The Great Pacific Electrics, a couple of Modeled Lines and Plans for some plus Plans of some Traction cars that someone with Gmax skills might find very useful.

My copy has so well used it is getting very worn

This is one of my favorites, and one of the last generic interurbans in the US: http://www.yakimavalleytrolleys.org/
