[PRCo] Re: Modelling Seasons

[Fred W. Schneider III]

Why not?  I'm not sure I know how to make the snow on the roof of the
trolley melt and reappear as it goes from season to season?????  Correct
that problem and you've got it made.

It goes along with taking a Boston double-end PCC and placing the seats
in two configurations, the Boston way on one end and the Dallas way on
the other.  And painting one side and end for Boston and the other in
red and cream for Dallas.  I think it's a great way to show what
happened in second hand sales.  Also a nice way to have both cars for
half the money.  But don't tell the boys at Seashore who "need" more
PCCs than Johnstown Traction ever had.  To them it is sacrilegious.
