These models reflect the Brill mulecar as originally built.  They were designed to be pulled by a Mule, or later by a narrow gauge (3 foot) loco or trolley. These mulecars are typical of the type found across America at the last quarter of the 19th century.  Paul DeVerter used references from a photographs of cars #37 and of #10, found in the book: HOUSTON ELECTRIC by Steve Baron.  Houston had 40 of these wooden, bobtail mulecars in 1885, running on 14 miles of track belonging to Houston City Street Railway Co.  After electrification, a number were used as trailers behind the electric cars

The YELLOW One

MULE WITH HARNESS to pull a mulecar
This mule is the same as the magnificent burro found in Burro.zip (the readme for which follows). However to go with the Mulecar, it was a little too small. So, Shape File Manager was used to resze the burro upwardly by 20%, to
approximate the size of a mule.  This makes a better fit with the mulecar. The harness was also increased.This folder contains two items. The first is a Mule, by Okrasa Ghia, with mule sound by Steve Thompson, and gong and brake sounds by Chuck Zeiler and the second is a Mulecar and Driver, by Paul DeVerter.

The GREEN One

Narrow Gauge Mulecar #7  (the green one)

This model reflects the Brill mulecar as built.  It is designed to be pulled by the Mule found in Mule_Car.zip in the Train-Sim Library, or by the narrow gauge (3 foot) loco or trolley of your choice.

Mulecars were exceedingly common throughout the world.  Horses were generally used in the Northern part of the United States, while mules were used in the South.  There are numerous pictures of such cars in Trolley Car Treasury" by Frank Rowsome (Bonanza Books 1956), as well as on the WWW, see e.g. www.tramz.com.
This model is based on Brill #1 sold to Oruro, Bolivia in 1907,
