<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> <BR> <BR>And as built, Dallas 374 didn't have air-conditioning nor resilient wheels. But none of these changes matter. McKinney Ave. is not like PTM. Different mission. Trucks probably came from Melbourne, as did trucks under their other operating Dallas car. <BR> <BR>Thanks for forwarding the tape. Interesting. Wonder if/when they will tackle the d.e. PCC car they got from Trolleyville.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><br> <BR><div>> From: fwschneider@comcast.net<br>> Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2013 17:32:15 -0400<br>> To: pittsburgh-railways@mailman.dementix.org<br>> Subject: [PRCo] McKinney Avenue restores another car<br>> <br>> We had a discussion here about certain cars in Cleveland not being Peter Witts….<br>> <br>> Well here is a video tape of a car they are calling a Peter Witt and "sure a God made green apples," it isn't. It was at one time but when Dallas went one man, the center doors were received. I would love to see proof that Mr. Witt collected royalties.<br>> <br>> The trucks are not right on the rebuilt car either. Originally it had Brill cast frame trucks with coil springs over the journals and the bolsters resting on elliptical springs hanging from the frame cord. These cars never had MCB trucks in revenue service. <br>> <br>> But it looks nice.<br>> <br>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuTiycs88ME<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Pittsburgh-railways mailing list<br>> Pittsburgh-railways@mailman.dementix.org<br>> https://mailman.dementix.org/mailman/listinfo/pittsburgh-railways<br></div> </div>
