Re: Update from Como - Model T railcar.

This is great news, can't wait to see the T railcar running on the rails at Como. Railroad's liked the Model T conversion because parts were plentiful and the foot brake is in the transmission so you don't loose your brakes when you change to flanged wheels. Many Model T parts are available new from Ford or through outfits that make parts under Ford license. A "T" railcar can be popular with visitors so it's a good addition to the fleet.
