Went to Google over the lunch hour - some of these were kind of cute and others are just plain ugly.
Some looked like small cars, but at 25 tons - that is a pretty heavy car!
I have heard the term Critters, but didn’t know what one was. Now I do.
Thanx Skeets!

Watching a 25 ton Stewartstown no.9 pulling two loads up a 3% grade in the rain while blowing for York Road with its airchime whistle at full throttle is every bit as exciting railroading as all this “modern” drama today. You did your homework well, Madam Da Mook. [I’ll get you interested in the “little fellers” yet, toots!]
I would love to watch one work. Sounds like it has all the charm of yesteryear.
I will have to do some more homework!
