	According to Harold E. Cox, the trucks and electrical gear and a 
few body parts went to Brussels.  And according to Schneider (*PCC From 
Coast to Coast* pg 264):  "Since 1971 all Brussels PCCs have been 
articulated units."  That was a picture caption for the first photo.  
Don't know if any of the single units were convirted to artics but would 
guess they are not running.
	I got up and got two books to answer your questions; you can get 
the Baltimore book and find out about their gauge!
