<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> In my mind, John, I also questioned whether or not
Seashore would have bothered to regauge Pittsburgh trucks or simply get a pair
of standard gauge B2 trucks from Boston. The fans would never
know. But I admit to not wasting my time to see what happened to all
the wartime era Boston PCCs. <BR>> <BR>> It's one thing to write the book
on the subject. Another thing to keep one's head so involved in that
topic that you miss everything else going on in the world since
1980. The answer is, once those books were put to bed, I went on to
other interests. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> On Jul 18, 2013, at 9:51

Those were London-Midland-Scottish 4-6-0 types used on the West Coast main
line. The first one - #6100 Royal Scot has been
preserved. <BR>>> <BR>>> The "Flying Scotsman" 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 Royal Scot 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>>>

<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>>>>
