MAITLAND TOWER HO


Maitland Tower


Erie Crossing Shanty


The Maitland Tower kit builds into a model of the tower's initial configuration and can be modified to represent a number of other Erie west end towers. Maitland also broke up the block between Glen Echo and Cold Springs on the Dayton Branch and was used by the DT&I to issue trains orders. This served to extend the tower life more than anything else and remained in service well into the Conrail years. Crossing Shanty not included

sistent standard industry streetcar by the President’s Conference Committee in the 1930’s, the PCC car proved to be far from “standard.” While outward ap- pearances make it easy to identify the PCC car plan, operators had a choice of five different widths and several stan- dard as well as custom body lengths. It came in either a single-ended or dou- ble-ended arrangement, with a variety of seating configurations, two different specified electrical component manu- facturers, two car builders and various second party component suppliers.


Adding to this mix a 13 year produc- tion run was punctuated by a major world war and its inherent material shortages as well as many production modifications. One would expect these changes to occur during the production cycle making it impossible to truly cap- ture in miniature a standard PCC streetcar. The prototype cars were delivered between 1947 and 1948 to Philadel- phia as part of a 210 car order. These cars were 46′-5″ long by 9′-6″ wide and featured a rear end borrowing a 1936 Clark/1940 Cincinnati design. As with all postwar orders, these cars featured small side windows with a row of “standee” windows running above these lower windows. Another postwar upgrade enhanced the motorman’s night vision by canting the windshield inward 30 degrees. These cars would serve with PTC and later SEPTA until their retirement from service in Philadelphia in the 1990’s having been in operation for over 40 years. Fourteen of the Philadelphia cars


would be reconditioned and join the San Francisco Muni F-Line fleet in 1995. The F-line in addition to provid- ing viable street car service is a rolling, living history museum that features restored streetcars from around the world in its daily operations. The rebuilt cars would receive a sec-


ond trolley pole to allow backing move- ments without back poling and new paint schemes. Rather than repainting the cars in a standard corporate scheme, the F-line chose to paint each car in the individual historical colors
