Jeremy Winkworth's NSL Motor Car

In 1999, he bought an open M9-C from a friend in Marquette, Michigan. "It appears to have started life on the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad in 1941. When that railroad closed, it made it's way to Upper Michigan, working on the Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad and the Marquette and Huron Mountain Railroad. It's very complete but needs a repaint. It runs off a dry battery - no generator or alternator. " Thanks Jeremy!! Here is a link to his page.
