INTERURBAN ERA, INTERURBAN ERROR

THEME FOR THE WEEK

There was once a time in American transportation known as the Interurban Era. Interurbans could be found all across our country.
Some of these Interurbans where large, very large, while others were small.
This is true of the equipment they used, some small, others large.

Time past, and almost all are gone. It has taken over 100 years.
Now they are mostly found in catalogs and basement clubs, or on wish lists.
This is where we find the Interurban errors.
The full scale item


The "0" scale from K-Line about 1990.

K-Line evolved its line. Note the absence of head lamps, then the addition. The same for the Cow Catchers.

I don't recall any MP54s being used on interurban lines.

I think your definition of "interurban" might need a like tweaking, as neither the Pennsylvania nor the Lackawanna were interurbans.

Thank you for pointing out that the concept of any Interurban persisting to this day is merely a figment of a few railfan's imaginations.
