I  Was  Just  Looking  At  Same  On  My  Models before receiving these 
emails!!!!!!!       So I turned the car around expecting the  
*-Smoking--End-*  to be in the rear  (signage and usage depending upon 
direction and not car appointments with sign visible from loading side)  
But  It  Was  In  The  Front!       How Strange,  I  Thought,  to run 
the Smoking End in the front!


Interesting about the brushes as well  --  talk about penny pinching  
--  those are the wrong words because they connote a negative image  --  
Frugality is better  --  Always in style but certainly not practiced by 
us today!

Car 212 is shown at the end of the Fairchance line on pg.6 of the PRMA 
pub  --  date is listed only as  Earlier  Time!!!!!!!       Pg.23 shows 
same car in Trafford with 4318!!

The LeRoy O. King All Color PA book, pg.111, shows 212 in Connellsville 
on 1941.08.31 and claims it was scrapped in 1951.

Car 212 is shown passing 718 on Brownsville line in CERA 110 WP pub, pg.28.

Look forward to your comments, Fred!!
