Now that Ed has identified 1713, the last time I saw her was probably 3-4 
years ago at Worthington, the open air museum.  (Both ends of their one barn 
are open to the elements).   They had painted the car and she looked good.  
Don't know about the interior.  

There was some dickering about Ed's ownership with the car housed at the 
museum.  This is a splintered group with some wanting the steam engine (4-8-0 
N&W I believe) and some PRR and NW passenger equipment gone, and others 
wanting to concentrate on the railroad stuff.  The town of Worthington 
doesn't hold the museum (my opinion and what I have heard) in their backyard. 
 It is jammed 
into a wedge layout with the onetime track extension north from the museum on 
the old CD&M right of way cut back to the end of the museum.   Urban 
development or something.  They run south along the current rr some distance 
on a single track.
and have a few yard tracks storing everything.   

Then I heard a Pittsburgh PCC was in Ashley, OH which is about 25 miles north 
of Columbus.  (north of Delaware ).  Have no details on what is going on or 
if that is 1713, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Any info would be helpful and if complete enough I'll try and make contact 
and maybe get some shots for Derrick to scan for me.
