PE Hollywood #637 Uploaded

With pride and joy I announce that I just finished uploading the first car in the Pacific Electric 600-700 class, the #637. The pride is in the fact that this was a truely community effort that spans the globe. I wish to thank the following people

Mike Parker - Portland Traction Co. Help
Alan Eisenberg -PTC Help

The 637 with the soon to follow #653 in trail. Also due out soon are the 5099 and 5149 "One-Man" cars of 1949 and 50. And the 655, by special request of John Smatlak. This car is at the Orange Empire Railway Museum (as is the 637), and in need of new trucks. The 655 is now on rubber tires, and the OERM is looking for donations towards the new trucks.

So, a hearty Thank You to all involved, and if I have forgotten anyone, please let me know.Cheers,

Tim

Tim, Kenji, and all, amazing work. I can't wait.MrMike, this might be a dumb question, but what route is that that you featured in your screenshots? If it is released, could you please provide a link? Thanks a lot.--The FBL Commuter Edition!!!!!!---You can never have too much inner beauty. Or socks.

Matt, The route is called KVB 17/19 or Linnie 17/19. You must register on the site. Also you must down load the original version before applying the Up-date. This is a very good route with only one problem that I observed. When you exit the route it takes you to the desktop(send/don't send).http://v078073.dd2218.kasserver.com/phpkit/include.php?path=start.php It comes with 10 activities & traffic. All rolling stock is available on the same site.Edit: The original version is called Linnie 6/17. Download this first. It is about 113 mb. My Computer specs are in my profile

Hi Jeff,
That is Kenji Kimura's work. He did an outstanding job, and it was a pleasure to work with him the little bit that was necessary. He is a true gentleman. Chuck tweaked it just a bit to get the brake handle to clear the gauge.Chuck, great pic of the Roger Rabbit group! Love it!!!I am uploading the #653 right now. It is made with the front coupler centered so that it can be used as a trailing car in two-car trains, but is a full-powered car. The 637 is made with the front coupler swung and locked to the side for safety reasons. This is how the next cars are set up:1939-40 Two-Man Cars:
653 - coupler centered
655 - coupler swung to side1949-50 One-Man cars:
5099 - coupler swung to side
5149 - coupler centeredThe Portland Traction Car still needs some work. I hope to finish it someday soon.

Tim

Were the Hollywoods the "Red Cars" or did that apply to all of Pacific Electric's rolling stock?

The "Red Car" was the term used by the locals for the entire Pacific Electric system, because their cars were painted red. The city lines, the Los Angeles Railway, was called the "Yellow Car" because they were basically yellow:
Orange Empire Railroad Museum's Broadway Parade. You can see a Red Car "Hollywood" between the two forward Yellow Cars, in the background.Cheers!

I wanted for some time to add this, but has anyone noticed in the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" that there weren't any wires for the trolleys?

And they were running with BOTH poles up, rather than the trailing pole.
