[PRCo] Re: NEW PRCo PCC MODEL

[Jim Holland]

Good Morning, Greg!

	No sense in mincing words when it is possible to come right to the
point  --  wonder if the  San--Francisco--ex--Philly  PCCs should be
given this label as well.  Would certainly fly here!  Maybe they need a
bumper sticker?!?!<GG>  Have only been on those things thrice - once the
night before opening, once with visitors, and once when I got out of
jury duty early!!  Haven't even been near a Milan car - can't get too
close because of all the noise!

	As Roger mentions, Corgi did add a roof monitor to the cars but it is
grossly out of scale and quite hideous looking.  A  ({[pat]])  rendition
has already made it to Market!

	Some of Corgi's bus models are ok for the price and at 1.50-scale, the
trolleycar really makes the old gutterliner (again, Many Thanks, Ira)
look quite diminutive!!
