We had a discussion here about certain cars in Cleveland not being Peter Witts….
Well here is a video tape of a car they are calling a Peter Witt and "sure a God made green apples," it isn't. It was at one time but when Dallas went one man, the center doors were received. I would love to see proof that Mr. Witt collected royalties.
The trucks are not right on the rebuilt car either. Originally it had Brill cast frame trucks with coil springs over the journals and the bolsters resting on elliptical springs hanging from the frame cord. These cars never had MCB trucks in revenue service.
But it looks nice.
