| Hi Mark,
I intend to get a PCC car - it depends on what names are available in the UK as to which one I get. The UK importer lists 12 names plus the undec. As there are none for which I have any particular allegiance, except maybe the Marseilles one as it the nearest to home, I will probably choose on color/appearance.
I certainly am not going to re-engineer my RR to provide steep grades just for a PCC car however.  | |

| Alan,
Yeah, I won't be re-engineering anything on my RR as it exists, but should I add a trolley line, I won't take much time to grade it well! Just light grading and level side to side. Seeriosuly, this line I saw in the video looked like a mild roller coaster. Perhap that's how they got up and down that one.
A lot of the cars were PCCs. I never really gave it much thought, but there must have been a ton of trolleys in Brooklyn, NY. Hence, the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers (or just Brooklyn Dodgers for short). That's the baseball team that eventually moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1950s.
Jim - a trolley line is exactly what you need to run from your back porch up to your new shed.

| | Looks good, I ride the F market line in San Francisco pretty often and get to enjoy those colorful PCC's they have. Do they have a list of paint schemes yet? | | | |

| | If you refer to the Aristo-Craft General Forum, look for PCC Trolley 26th Sept. entry, you will see that there is a delay as a mod is being made to include a DCC port. | |
