Yes, they are also available for download - have the URL somewhere - if and 
when I find it I shall forward same.

Unfortunately, the bulk of the PCCs operating in San Francisco are ex-Septic 
cars painted for various systems that operated PCCs  --  yes, that was PE 
and there is Brooklyn, Newark, Cincinnati, Louisville  (which Never actually 
operated PCCs outside of PRCo 1253 demonstrator,) Boston, variety of Philly 
schemes, and even a variety of Muni schemes on these Septic cars, and a 
number of others.
.
SF also has a fleet of Milan Peter Witts, The Very First TrolleyCar which 
started service on the Geary line in December 1912 - #1, Muni 130, Melbourne 
car, Osaka Car, couple Portugal single truckers, Russian car, Johnstown car, 
and not a few others.       Just got a PCC from Belgium which may be ready 
for service in a couple months.       Also  ({[pat]})  4008 and 4009 - may 
have the numbers wrong.
.
The PCCs and Milan Peter Witts run daily between 17th and Market and the 
Ferry, then along the Embarcadero into Fish Wharf and return.       the #1 
and 130 sometimes run shuttle service along the Embarcadero to the Wharf.
