[PRCo] Re: JOHN M. PROPHET'S PCC CARS 1938-1948

[Jim Holland]

Hi Bill!
.
.
Thank  You for the update on these videos    ----    have  Often  
referred to the PRCo section here on this list which Colin Strayer, who 
did the original through Empire, said was The Longest Section.       
Have the video    ----    will get the  DVD  hoping for  DVD  quality as 
well!!       Glad it is without narration.
.
This video shows the 1200s as new cars!!!       Quite spectacular  --  
Movies from 1940!!       Like Bob, I would like to see Anything 
TrolleyCar but this movie was edited to emphasize PCCs.
