THE STORY OF THE M-1

The Bow Willow & Sawtooth M-1 is a small gas-powered railbus used to carry passengers and mail when a steam train is not practical. It was built in July 1933 in the Live Oak Springs shops using Brill and Fairmont motor car parts.

The M-1 started life as a LGB D&RGW coach and a LGB handcar. I cut all the parts off the coach with a hacksaw and superglued them together. It will get a coat of paint, B&S decals and R/C installed in the near future.
