As I remember from talking to people at Johnstown during a mid 1962 visit, JTC forces were scrapping the  PCCs on a time-available basis, crating the electrical equipment and trucks for shipment to Brussels, and hauling the stripped bodies away.  I didn't stay long because I was expecting company at home, and there was also a female type being attracting me.  I didn't even take time to take a picture or two of a trolley bus.

I took some photos of PCC's stored at Moxham in 1961 - I'll send them in a
separate e-mail.
