[PRCo] Re: Trucks__--__PCC___100

[Holland Electric Rwy. Op. H.E.R.O. -- Import SPTC 1.48 Models // James B. Holland]

Not Only That  --  appears that the original arm / bracket for holding 
track brake spring to torque arm was directly over the area where torque 
arm bolted to spring / axle housing near the far wheel  --  this appears 
to be moved forward so it doesn't interfere with that interface!!!

Agreed that the trucks would be similar / exactly like those on 
Brooklyn  --  she must have more narrow tread - 2.5" possibly!!
