Hi Fred,

Thanks for thie nice welcome and info, if you can get me some plans of those
cars, I'll have a look at them, would also need a likely number to be
ordered, the 3700's were nice too, I'd like to get a set of plans for them
to look at as well. I have an Interurban PCC from the Russian and it's
beautiful, these certainly had to rank up there with the most handsome PCC
cars of all (even if they were hot in summer).

Whilst you may not be intersted in T/C's (unless modelling Johnstown or
Philly), I'm working on the masters for a HO Marmon Herrington at the
moment.

Will check out the tape with Jim, the West End one sounds good, has anyone
done anything on the East side yet? That Melbourne tape is good, if you
really want see a great tramway tape on what was, our greatest tramway,
"Shooting Through" on the former Sydney system (closed in 61) that was huge
and really interesting with stunning lines around cliffs, MU operation etc.
can be had in NTSC format too.

Cheers
Greg
