<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> <BR> <BR>huh, Fred???<BR> <BR>Alan Pegler never had a Royal Scot. Those were London-Midland-Scottish 4-6-0 types used on the West Coast main line. The first one - #6100 <em>Royal Scot </em>has been preserved. <BR> <BR>The "<em>Flying Scotsman</em>" is an A-3 class London and Northeastern 'pacific' type loco used on the East Coast main line.<BR> <BR>The only similarity is that both made trips to US, but neither you nor I ever saw the <em>Royal Scot</em> in this country - it's US visit was during 1930s.<BR> <BR>As for PRC 1440, finding this link falls into the category of just dumb luck. Any reason Seashore would re-gauge the PRC trucks rather than use an extra set of Boston PCC trucks????<BR> <BR><a href="http://www.trolleymuseum.org/collection/browse.php?id=01440SPA">http://www.trolleymuseum.org/collection/browse.php?id=01440SPA</a> <BR><br> <BR> <BR> <BR><div>> From: fwschneider@comcast.net<br>> Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:49:27 -0400<br>> To: pittsburgh-railways@mailman.dementix.org<br>> Subject: Re: [PRCo] PRC 1400 Series PCC in Museum<br>> <br>> Here is a link to 1440 on Seashore's web site.<br>> <br>> http://www.trolleymuseum.org/collection/browse.php?id=01440SPA<br>> <br>> I have no idea what shape it is in today. Remember when Alan Pegler's Royal Scot (4472) was running in the U. S. A? I think it is called the Flying Scotsman today and there is a joke on line about renaming it after the prime minister by simply removing the F from the name. <br>> <br>> Well, I think that might have been about 1969. I went up on the Night Clunker from Philly to Providence and met Bill Middleton (the Navy had him in Newport, RI then) and we spent the weekend chasing a British steam engine and riding trolleys at Seashore. That was the only time I saw 1440 and it looked pretty good them. I have been up that way one or two times since but I didn't see it out.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> On Jul 18, 2013, at 4:39 PM, Edward H.
