Hi All,
Attached is a flyer I received from a friend for the new O scale Portland Streetcar model that was announced. It is in production and will be ready soon for distribution. A pilot model will be shown at the Boston Trolley Meet on Saturday, April 28th. They hope to have it painted and running if all goes well with the weather! Detailed instructions for assembly, mounting trucks, etc. will follow.
Details from the Flyer:
AT LAST! – A CONTEMPORARY, 21ST CENTURY USA
LOW FLOOR STREETCAR IN 1:48 O SCALE.
We proudly announce the Portland Streetcar model for experienced modelers. The exquisitely detailed sections include a separate floor with moulded seats, operator’s cab and console on both ends. The car comes ready to assemble, paint and fit with Q-Car PCC trucks or equivalent. Your choice of trolley poles or pantograph. An added bonus is fitted tinted window glass for sides and windshields.
