*Pittsburgh Traction* -- Video Review.

Thanks for the info Jim -

Also, you all might want to know that Corgi, the folks who provide a generic 
post war 
standee window PCC in many paint schemes, is planning to release a Pittsburgh
"1700" in July, 2000, their number 55013.  That is all the info I have and 
don't know
what vinage paint they will use.

This will not be a PRCo. correct 1700, but the paint will be.  These cars can 
usually be found for $40 - $50 advertised in the model magazines.

If you will scan the photo of the 1700 being offered by Jim Holland (aka 
Holland Electric Railway Operation) there is no comparison for accuracy.  
Before I get bounced as "getting a cut" from Jim, I am ordering  one of these 
cars from him.  
The Russians must be pretty good.  At the hobby shop I work at part time, the 
airplane engines from Russia show workmanship that is far superior to any 
other line
sold in the shop.

Either way, these are nice additions to your den or train room, and the Corgi 
car can be powered and run on O scale track, although I believe it is 1:50 
scale.
