Doneldon:
I started this layout a couple of months ago. The layout before this one was taken down some 60 years ago. To say I'm new to today's model railroading is an understatement. I learned from this Bachmann purchase what I wanted and what I did not want. I understand there is a need for bottom end products. I just did not realize the differences until I had both a Bachmann trolley and a Spectrum trolley.
I actually picked the Bachmann PCC because it was a Los Angeles trolley (well, kind of, since the real ones were narrow gage) that brought back memories of riding the LA "J" cars as a kid with my mom. The Bowser upgrade will make it look right and run better and I am satisfied both with the results and the cost to me.
I have tried the Bachmann trolley, two Spectrum trolleys, one Con Cor trolley, and the Bowser conversion (which I assume is a measure of a complete Bowser trolley). Actually only the Bachmann was a disappointment and I have fixed that now.
