Improved PCC

[japasha]

Mr. Bachmann,

Are there any plans to improve the PCC or Birney power trains like the nice system on the new Peter Witt Car?

This would be very nice for those of s with traction on our minds.

Dear J,
I've been lobbying for this, and I'll keep you posted.
Have fun!

In addition to the upgrades mentioned. How about some additional color schemes? Los Angeles Railway successor, Los Angeles Transit Lines ran PCC cars in the yellow/green scheme. I know this would be a tooling issue, but a double ended PCC would be great as well. The Pacific Electric Railway in Los Angeles operated Pullman built double ended PCCs, as did the San Francisco Municipal Railway. I believe there has long been a need for moderately priced, high quality "traction" models. Bachmann has broken ground in this market with the Peter Witt car. Upgraded PCCs and Birneys would seem a natural follow up.
