B&O and C&P Brill Doodlebugs
The B&O (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad) and C&P (Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad) both had Brill built Doodlebugs. The first part of this project has become the development of Brill 27 M.C.B 4 trucks, these appear to be the front trucks of the Doodlebugs.
Here is a glimpse of the latest work on the drawing.
Figure 1 -- Motor Mount Details of Brill 27 M.C.B 3 Truck |
The trucks are indicated to be 7 foot wheelbase with 33 inch wheels. The rear truck appears to be a variant (from the data I have available) of the M.C.B. 3 at 7' wheelbase size.
More later....
