	Not all that much interest in trolley coaches as models.

	Pittsburgh experimented with TCs twice - once with Twins just before
PCCs using a loop along Smithfield, Liberty, Grant, and 7th.  They only
needed to string a ground wire for the test.
	The other time was a San Francisco TC at the Westinghouse plant in
E.Pgh with an off street wye and some street running as well.  Wire had
to be specially strung for this.
	Have photos of both operations.
	While TCs might have been considered for the West End, and with little
interest in TC models, just don't know how far this would go!
