April 19, 2022 - M.T.H. Electric Trains will be releasing additional RailKing O Gauge Bump-n-Go Trolleys this Fall in three new liveries. Each of these unique schemes will be available in limited production quantities and will begin shipping to M.T.H. Authorized Retailers in October 2022.
One of the earliest notable trolley designs was the patented Brill Convertible Car which included removable side panels enabling the same trolley to be an open car in warm weather and a closed car in colder seasons. Later, the patented semi-convertible design enabled the removable panels to be stored in the car's roof. Other Brill innovations included the Narragansett car, an open car with a patented two-step running board to facilitate boarding by women in tight skirts; heavy steel high-speed articulated cars built in 1926 for the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis interurban; and lightweight, high-speed Bullet cars developed in 1930.
Each colorful trolley features a lighted interior, metal wheels and gears and a long-lasting motor. The unit operates on any O Gauge track system and features an Automatic Bumper Reversing Mechansim (ABRM) that changes the car’s direction when it hits a track bumper.
The North Pole scheme features the maroon and blue livery offered by other manufacturers and will complement those offerings quite well. The North Pole also features body clad colorful LEDs making it a perfect addition to your Holiday layout.
Check out each of the schemes in the list on the left.
