FOR SALE (Apr 16) NM - Fairmont 1960 A3-D-3, have the birthing papers and it was originally sold to the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, 70s era Ford 1.6L [98ci] engine, think it is industrial? Borg Warner 4 speed trans, with forward and reverse differential. When I bought this 22+ years ago the guy didn’t know anything about the engine [it has been in the barn or well covered all of  those years, until early last fall when I started working on it. I have tons of pix of 7+ months of work. Had the top and bottom off of the engine all looked good, one cylinder was lightly stuck so put in 4 sets of standard rings. The bearings are all still standard and looked very good. Some of the new parts, new aluminum welded radiator with electric cooling fan, stainless steel hoses, new carburetor, new starter, good battery,  all new wiring, and gauges, all new lights some LED, horns, seats [have three sets of seat belts you will need to install yourself, if wanted,] have hand holds for passengers, tow bar and tow hitches, front and read push handles, rear pull out turning bar. Flags, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, many coats of new paint, looks fairly good. All glass in in good shape. Probably one of the most important things has all new brake shoes and insulating blocks from  Stuart Remmers at S and E Rail Car Parts. I believe the 16” pressed wheels are all good? It’s been over 20 years since I was shown how to measure them. I do have 3 extra wheels  for sale. Have changed the grease in the trans and diff and of course oil and filter and anti freeze. Think I have found and greased all zerks?

I have wired the headlights and tail/stop lights so you can have them on either  end, since it will run the same speed either way. Used DPDT switches to accomplish this, also has two LED dome lights and lighted gauges and pilot lights on some items.. Most of the wood is new, floor and cross members. All of the new wood was primed with oil based paint before installing and finish painting.\

I have no way at this time to get it on the rails for checking and road testing, so that will be your responsibility. While I think this car to be in good condition it is sold as is where is, with no warranty of any kind. I will  tell you anything I know about it. Thankyou for looking, I will be happy to answer any questions and or email specific pix you may want to see. May be able to deliver to a few areas for extra cost??

Back then, it started readily and ran smoothly.  I rode with him several times but know very little more about the motorcar.  There is no trailer.  You will have to pick up.  I think this was Reading RR originally, but I'm not sure.

FOR SALE (Jan 23) VT - Fairmont ? in Williston, VT for $1,000. I am rebuilding this cart. I'm pretty sure it is a Fairmont Cart. It was used (manufactured as) a Fairmont Sprayer. It held 500 (?) gallons of liquid. It can carry some weight, my guess is 10,000 pounds easily. It has brakes, 16" wheels (stamped steel, not cast) and weight in the neighborhood of 500 pounds. Yes, I can turn it alone. All the brakes were (are?) worn badly. I replaced the 4 hangers with new, all the oak wooden blocks are new, the barke hardware has been sanded and striped, the decking removed, the liquid tank and steel frame removed, etc . . . It looks a little different these days. It has a keyed sprocket so I am pretty sure it had a motor and was self propelled at one point. The "front" axle is differential and the rear is solid. All the bearings work as they are supposed to (yes, the cart will roll). The wheels are 16" stamped steel, not cast. Pretty sure the cart is from the Seaboard Coast Line railroad from the mid 80's. Contact Tom Sopchak @ 802-578-7427

All the bearings work as they are supposed to (yes, the cart will roll). I have not started to work on this cart yet. Contact Tom Sopchak @ 802-578-7427
