[PRCo] HO Ex-Louisville PCCs

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Allman;

Beautiful models;  excellent overhead as well!
Could you please share some more model photos?

Mr.Robb----All Electric PCCs had slight angle of rear window
above the belt line;  below the belt line was vertical,  at least
on St.Louis Cars.  Air Cars had the same slope from above the
windows to the floor, 8-degrees/30-min on Pgh cars.  I'll send
you a scan of the Prc 17s rear elevation off list.



Phil
Without  a   'coast'   but  not  a   'cause.'
