Another PCC goes west

Must be the N scale version.  Trainworx custom built tractor, on a GHQ lowboy with a Bachmann PCC 

Awesome to see these being brought back to life, and knowing who has a helping hand in it is just icing on the cake

It's a Z Scale sized picture.

Is that a double ender?  And what city's paint scheme is that.  I already has its F Market sign.

Looks like Philly to me

Yes, it's PTC (Phila Transp Co.), privately owned predecessor to SEPTA.

[R L Smith]

It's a single-ender painted for Philadelphia.

The next car to leave, planned for around October 1st, is wearing teal-and-silver Baltimore Transit Company paint. There are 3 more single-enders here in work and three more yet to come east.

Can't wait to see it in service when it arrives here in the bay area!

Beautifull , nice to see them alive and well done !
Is it going by truck all the way ?

[R L Smith]

Yes, truck all the way to Muni's facility.  We've kicked the idea around of putting a sign on the car with a "Track This Trolley" logo and have people report on our company Facebook page where they've seen the PCC in transit. Nothing firmed up yet though.

The Market Street Railway organization sometimes has people send in photos of the cars on transit.

The link on their homepage to "On The Street" give you real-time info of what PCC's are on the F line and E line.
