Palmetto Brick Company 3' Railway - dump truck info wanted

[mad gerald]

G'evening all,

I came across the Palmetto Brick Company Railway accidentally ...

One type of the dump trucks caught my special interest:

I think the chassis would make a good prototype creating a light version of it, for corresponding wagons to be drawn by my CAT-style fork lift rail tractor on my minimum gauge railway ...  

So I'd like to have a closer look ... in case somebody could provide a pic or a link, preferably a close up or "portrait" in a higher resolution, I'd be quite happy ...  

Cheers

Gerald,

Larry actually visited the brick company a year ago and took numerous photos.   He is currently modeling the entire line.
He may have other photos of the car and you should contact him directly.

Gerald:

Follow your own link to the Brick Company down toward the bottom of the page.  One of that forum's members has built some of them and there are dozens of photos of the various cars and their frames.  Personally, I think the photos along are enough to create a model which if not correct to the nit pickers among us, would give you a fleet of cars worthy of most of this forum. 

I'm really interested in the bridge across the swamp, and will make an assumption based upon commonly available rail sizes to come up with one which is "good enough" for me.  Compromises will also be made based on the sizes of girders made by Evergreen and Plastrastruct.  Any one got an O Scale gator to put into the water?

Here's bridge in red primer (this is O scale). The metal plates clamping the rail to the I-Beams (saddles?) I printed at Shapeways

... thank you all for responding THAT fast ...

Must have somehow overseen the pics showing wagons 01, 09 und 22 waaaaay down that thread ...   ... I think these pics will do ...

Just in case I eventually would have another request - is Larry (aka BigLars?) a member here, as I'm not a member of the RRL forum ...

@Ed: really nice work on the bridge - but far to clean at the moment ...  

Cheers

Big Lars is not a member of this forum ... or at least does not use that name here. Most RRLine guys consider this forum off limits. Their goals are different from ours.

Ed, we finally see why you made the rail clamps and how you have used them. Shame on you for withholding valuable photographic evidence of your modeling!

That is one of the more interesting bridges...nice!
