A 7 1/4 Inch Gauge Riding Trolley - PART 8

摘要

For the visitors and passengers of the railway the frame and suspension are not seen - and of no interest. What they see and sit in is the superstructure. At the start of this series I told how I went through some iterations to get to the current design - especially regarding height. The current size seems to work well for one adult or two (or sometimes three) children. It is just a wooden box and when I completed the first one and painted it blue I decided it looked very boring. So, I added a number of cosmetic features to give a rather attractive truck-like exterior. More of that later. First, we need to build our box. The basic construction of the box is shown in fig 10 and the detail plan in fig 11.
