[PRCo] Re: HO scale and G scale PCCs

[Fred Schneider]

The statement in Concor's web site under PCC history which reads "The  
Art Deco Look of the "PCC" car probably helped their long life span,  
but they were well built, and simple to maintain, so some of the PCC  
cars built before WW II ran in public service until late 1970's in  
some cities." shows that they never attempted to maintain one!
