[PRCo] Re: O gauge trolleys

[ROBERT R ROCKWELL]

Thanks, Phil,

The freight car started out from a LaBelle Lake Shore kit and the many 
photos we have available of the West Penn 548. It has Current Lines power & 
trucks and full air car MRC DCC sound effects. Actually Fred S. now owns it.

It is my understanding that Corgi used Philly as the prototype and thus they 
all ( ? ) have the extra markers. If you choose a model that has "opening 
windows" (a line across the windows, many do ) and then blank out the 
standee windows, you come pretty close to the prewar PCC.

The West Penn PCCs, purely my own fantasy cars. Actually the two cars 
meeting (Brownsville & Uniontown) were sold on Ebay to a Corgi collector.

I run 4 cars with pantographs under N gauge rail overhead. My old 74 year 
old eyes can't deal with wire frogs. And St. Pete cars are out of my price 
range.

Regards, Bob
