[PRCo] Re: Mod Desire

[Edward G. Skuchas]

Mark,

I do not think that Corgi will be making a mod desire Pittsburgh PCC.  St
Petersburg Tram Collection have had the cars listed for some time and I had
some on order for customers.  They were not produced because of the
complexity of the painting.  I guess you can convince anyone to paint one if
the price was right.  One was painted in HO quite awhile ago.  If anything,
Corgi is cutting back PCC production all together!  Buy what you want now.

On the subject of the mod desire car, are there any photos showing the roof
of the car?  Any leads would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ed
