Notes:

This represents a freight motor, which was 6 feet shorter than the 800-series cars owned by LVT. C7 was modified in 1941 to snowplow service. All cars lasted until end-of-service in 1951. The kit consists of the body and the floor. The modeler has to provide the motor, gears, trucks, couplers, and decals to complete the model.

Both trucks are powered NWSL Stanton Drives. The model has DCC installed. Electrical pick-up is done via the wheels, not via the poles. This model was built for Ed by William Flatt.
