Greg:

I am a also a fan (and pseudo-student, if you will) of PRCo's
3800's, they being the first streetcar that I remember from
my days as a youngster in Charleroi, PA (more about that in the
future).  Therefore, be advised that there are some serious
errors on Paul Moore's drawing.

I have been working on a set of drawings suitable for scaling
for modelling purposes, now almost finished.  Look for them on
the web in the next few weeks.

Greg:

Back in the 1940s Paul Moore drew plans for quite a number of trolley cars,
PRCo 3800 included.  I copied his plans and posted them to the East Penn
Traction Club web page -- http://www.eastpenn.org/moore.html.  I would us
these plans to build a model of my own but you may want to research further
before building a production model.  I've been told that Paul's plans were
not always accurate.

If you make these in HO the price will determine how many I will buy.

Regards.
Bob

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.
