Just picked up 2 Corgi PPC cars and want to motorise them for the cheapest way & to have them run on superstreets.
Has any one done this? as I seem to remember there was a company but it went out of business.
Thanks James

There are a couple. Pennsylvania Heritage Models made a complete chassis with lighting. They are the best. They may not be available accept on ebay very rarely. Bowser made a motored chassis without lighting nor interior that required destruction of the interior details. The wheels are a bit oversized but it works. Bowser may have some left and they occasionally show up on ebay. Finally GHB industries made a powered truck set that simply replaced the corgi trucks without affecting the interior. They are noisy but may still be available from GHB.
I saw a pair of the GHB trucks at the recent model transit show in New Brunswick. The website seems to indicate they're still available.
I was thinking of snagging a pair to power up some random traction model I might acquire in the future, since the PCC sideframes can be removed from the truck block.

I used the GHB power trucks on my corgi PCC.
