I am familiar with Island Model Works and their Portland Streetcar. I actually saw it running on a layout at a train show in Boston.

In particular, I am looking for Boeing LRVs with the Boston MBTA roadname. A fellow modeler I know actually owns 2 2 rail O gauge/Oscale Boeings, one in SF MUNI roadname, the other in Boston MBTA roadname See Pics.

I am just wondering who makes these LRVs?

Hi CTSRapid,

do you know if that model was powered ready to run or an unpowered display model?

JP-

Not certain, but I'm thinking powered.

They were powered.When I left Connecticut I donated mine to the Stamford Club

iN TALKING TO ONE OF THE TROLLEY MODELERS AT THE STAMFORD CLUB THEY HAD QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS.SUCH AS BURNING UP MOTORS AND THE LIGHTING WITH THE ELECTRONICS IN THE VESTIBULE
