Hunt Electric Locomotive

Below is an illustration/photo of a C W Hunt company electric locomotive circa 1911.  I thought I would post this while I am deciding what to model next.  These locos operated from either storage batteries, overhead trolleys, or a combination.  Their approximate weight was 5 tons.  Dimensions were length 12 ft, width 5 - 6 ft, height 70 inches, gauge 21 1/2 inches.  Speed was from 1 to 4 mph and could haul 50 tons.  The average use time in general switching was about 10 hours so good for a days work.  The motors and gear boxes were on top.  The platform area on each end permitted the driver to position himself properly for either direction.  Each truck was driven by it's own motor.

Hunt supplied a variety of dump and flat cars, as well as some specialized cars,  for use with the loco.

Modeling this locomotive would not be hard since it looks like a box on a flat car with the motors on top.  These locos were used in industrial areas, mining facilities and much more.
