Has anyone tried pulling anything with an
Atlas Industrial Rail trolley? They can be
obtained reasonably on EBay from time to time,
and I thought it might make a nice basis to bash
into a box or flat motor, to pull one or 2 trailers.

Have considered a Bowser car, but getting the body
away from the floor and trucks is not an easy task.
And with an e unit, the Bowser car is not cheap!

Hi Lee. The only thing I can say about the trolley itself is it is a nice little runner and works great on Super streets track. Considering it probably wasn't designed to pull anything I don't imagine a couple of light cars would kill it.
I think it would make a good looking work trolley and would be a fun project. Wink
