  I just remembered that the Russian firm has excellent "O" models of this car
  in two versions, the 2nd with a subtly different paint arrangement::

  Mr.Allman;

  Trust your recovery was 200% successful and you haven't contributed to any
  more dents in transit infrastructure.

  A technical correction to your post:  the Pittsburgh car is 'not air-electric' 
  but the
  post-war all-electric demonstrator 1600 lost in the Homewood fire of 1955.  It 
  does
  have standee windows.


  Possibly to lower costs of production the same body was used for all models with 
  a few
  minor differences specific to the particular property included.  The catcher 
  below the
  windows, the Philadelphia style truck marker lights above the front destination 
  sign
  (PA Scale models did that;  did Bowser take them over?,) skirts cut out above 
  the trucks
  (a latter day feature on many properties,)  Philadelphia front window 
  arrangement,
  Philly style clearance panel on the body behind the front doors, identical 
  window
  arrangements, and flat folding doors on all cars are quite notable.

  Pittsburgh does have a fan monitor but not the one used on PRC 1600 as seen 
  here:

  Mr.Brannon:    I discovered by trial and error that file names with spaces can 
  sometimes
  cause trouble;  note the '$20' added in each space in your file name below.  I 
  was able to
  view your file by going to the photo archives for the list.  The file name above 
  has the same
  but doesn't cause trouble;  it is not always easy to understand computers and 
  programs is it.

  I  attached a crop of Mr.Brannon's picture to show only JTC and Prc.  Let's see 
  how it comes
  through.
