Fairmont Motor Cars
Maintenance of way crew cars. Lovingly restored to operation
and painted in NC&StL livery of the fifties. Gasoline
powered with a single large cylinder two stroke engine,
they were called “putt-putts” because of the odd hit-and-miss
sound they made when in operation. The two stroke was designed
to run clockwise or counter-clockwise so as to not have
to pick up the car and turn it around or use a reverse gear
to run in an opposite direction. The engine is directly
belted with a clutch to one axle.
