ONP 4 wheel davenport "diesel" #3. It has a 4 cylinder automotive engine and run through a hydrolic drive. Finished
in 2001. Uses knuckle couplers and has a pin hook to operate with the MOW cars. Also has a headlight for evening and night
time operation.
ONP riding gondola #101.It uses knuckle couplers and has archbar trucks.
ONP riding gondola/wheelchair car #200.This car was constructed after the passing of Phil Speigal (as seen on the side of
the car "Phil Speigal Special"), an orginal member of the ONP crew and all the money needed for the project was
donated by his family. The railroad is very greatful. This car has two camofluage doors on each side allowing for easier access
for older people because the car floor is level with the station platform. The wider part of the car is for a wheelchair.
The 2 seats can be removed and a wheelchair can be put in. It is very secure.It uses knuckle couplers and has archbar trucks.
NOTE: This car may not meet the official specifications outlined by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). It would
be impossible to build a 5" scale car to be spacious for a wheelchair. But a lot of people have said how happy they are
that they can now ride the train because of the new car.
ONP MOW (Maintainence of Way) #1. This was used as the caboose until #1201 was built and then later used as a wheelchair car
as can be seen by the lettering on the side "CHAIR CAR" until an accident moved into MOW service. It has link and
pin couplers. The wheels were are not the correct size and smaller than normal wheels of our riding stock which results in
derailments at to high of speeds which is why we do not use it to carry passengers anymore.
This trolley was completed in 2002 by Tom Sharptein who sctrach built the entire thing. It originally ran on a noisy
gas engine, but in 2005 it went under a heavy rebild and now runs onsix car batteries. There are 3 seats with the first seat
taken by the motorman. It is normally used as a track inspection car or a switchman's car as it is to slow to keep up with
the train. It also has detailed roof work and advertising in on the sides inside. Its home is the WYO Junction Car Barn near
the Chrome School, along with #3.
