Folks:

I am a modeler and my primary interest in street cars is from that
perspective.  I belong to the East Penn Traction Club and have a couple
trolley modules built to their standards.  I'm about to start on a new
module of a specific place and time; South Hills Junction in the mid '50s.
As I started gathering information it seemed only natural to share it, so I
started a web site.  As you will see some folks on this list have already
contributed, I especially want to thank Ed Lybarger and Bill Vigrass for
their input.  Since there seems to be so much knowledge about the Pittsburgh
Railways system in this group I'm asking for your help.  I would like to
include some historical information but it is hard to come by.  When I build
the module I intend to include the Administration building and the news
stand.  I don't believe that plans for these structures exist but
straight-on pictures would go a long way toward an accurate model.  Anything
else that is appropriate I'll be glad to get.

Thanks for your help, and keep the rhetoric going on this list, it's been
great.

Oh yes, the web site  -- http://www.voicenet.com/~dietrich/SHJ/default.htm
