[PRCo] Re: HO Brass Pittsburgh Pre-war PCC car by MTS Imports

[James B. Holland]

At the bottom of the eBay website there are several small pictures to 
the right of the large one - click on the small one, esp. the car 
sitting on the box, and it will enlarge.

End of the box has the following::

                Pittsburgh 1000--1099 series As Built

                Pittsburgh 1000--1099 series As Modified.

The second one is checked  --  thus it takes into account the mod by 
PRCo on some equipment to use full width anticlimber.       This would 
also fit PRCo #100 and removal of the split in the destination sign 
would also make the model acceptable for PRCo 1100--1199.

These models of PCCs were Very Widely Used on a number of Systems but 
there were usually small features that made each distinctive for that 
system:

Brooklyn -- 100-cars but had a next car light above headlight.

San Diego

El Paso

Philly 2001 series without split destination sign.

LATL first Air-Car Purchases but None of the LATL cars had a split 
destination sign - second purchase by LATL moved center door one window 
aft ala All-Electrics and these cars were used as model for All-Electric 
door placement.

Boston - One Car Queen Mary, 3001 but Non-split destination sign.

TTC 4000 series.

Vancouver first PCCs.

Actually, this model is more correct for PRCo modifieds than for LATL 
first cars.
