Ok I just received the class one motorcar book, the third in the series. It is called “Doodlebug Country.” It has an L&N roster. Evidently they had a motorcar that served 27 years and as the TAG Brill cars were collectively called the Scooter by locals, this car was known locally as the “Huckety-Buck.” There is a pic of this car. NC&StL didn’t keep their two motorcars long. No NC&StL pics. Now here is what I found interesting concerning the CofG. Langley’s “Central of Georgia Railway Album” states that the two CofG motorcars - the 10 and the 11 - were both Brill cars. One is indeed a Brill 55, just like the cars TAG operated, but according to “Doodlebug Country” the 11 was manufactured by Edwards. I had never looked that close prior to this but it is indeed an Edwards car. If you are a CofG fan and you already have the Langley book you will find that there are three pics of the CofG motorcars and only two in the other book. Duplicate of the Langley book’s pics but missing a side shot of the 10. If you ever run across a book called “Rails Remembered Vol. 1” there is a good firsthand account of a trip down the CofG from Chattanooga to Rome, a trip across the Southern from Rome To Gadsden and then TAG back to Chattanooga. Oh how I would have loved to have made that trip. At any rate, if you have more than a passing interest in railroad passenger motorcars, I do recommend these three books.
