Lettuce see  --  2" = 1/6th Foot.        One "O"-Scale foot = 1/4".

1/6 X 1/4" == 1/24"

Could the naked eye see this sag built into PRCo low-floor???

Will the restoration of  PTM  4398  Keep  This  Sag  --  or will it be 
eliminated????


As you say  --  """impossible to make a [scale-model] Pittsburgh 
low-floor properly sag at the ends"""  so why lament that the models 
don't portray this  --  IF  it could be seen?!?!?!
