Greetings!

	Hope the following announcement is welcome news:::::::

	"Now under construction by St. Petersburg Trams: Pittsburgh Railways Company (PRCo) 1700 
series PCC cars, both city cars (1725-1799) and interurbans (1700-1724), both un-powered, in "O" 
Scale, 1:48.  Built from plans provided by St. Louis Car Company, these models will be prototypically 
correct with roof monitor to house ceiling fans, rounded window corners, interior detailing, and 
painted inside and out as delivered to PRCo.  The interurban cars will sport a non-working roof 
light, pilot instead of lifeguard, Earll retriever instead of catcher, and a spare trolley pole 
strapped to the roof monitor.
	Plans are being formulated for a good representation of PRCo and PAT streetcars, both PCC and 
older equipment.
