Found this link in the Sooner State Rails group in Yahoo, and thought it would be interesting: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/sooner/frisco_avard_2.jpg
That, Terry is what we commonly call a doodlebug - otherwise known as a Gas-Electric Motorcar. They were used by the Frisco on branches that had the need for passenger service with baggage, but not enough to justify a full train. Check out the following forum and its threads for more information. http://www.frisco.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=146
Thanks Keith. Interesting to say the least! Tom, No I'm not related, although there are so few Boynes we are probably mixed up in the gene pool back there somewhere. My dad got to meet him once and they talked about family history. His people are from the area around London, while mine are from Ireland. Great man. Proud to share the name with him.
Gang, Attached is a short audio clip of a fully restored Gustin-Bacon Volatone dual air horn. Frisco used the Volatone dual types on their 2100 series motor cars or doodlebugs. Volatone quad air horns were also used on some Frisco steam classes notably the 1500s. Ron
