Chicago Aurora and Elgin 420 series Cincinnati Car Company built interurban cars in two different paint schemes. The trucks are Q-Car Company. The cars are not powered since they are run in a train sandwiched between powered cars. The trolley poles are Midwestern Train Hobby products. Metal seated passengers have been installed to add weight to the cars. Modified Precision Scale Company traction couplers are used to couple the cars into a train.
