Hello Melgar !
Very nice looking layout and buildings, structures -- including the wooden trestle ! The trolley looks very good and at home on your layout - via the video I saw of it. !
I have TWO of those B&QT painted "Baltimore" designed Streetcars. One operates in 2 rail DC with full interior and the other is a B&QT green Body Shell only I will finish up as a second car -- I will have to replicate (scratchbuild) the interior and underbody and installed trucks and a new floor under it - and one trolley pole on the roof - of that 2nd car .
These "Bachmann produced" car bodies were in reality designed for and built as a new fleet for, the Baltimore Transit System . Brooklyn never had these particular style cars --- but they had something similar. See further below:
This model you and I have does NOT - (as you wrote it does) , at all represent any 8000 thru 8500 series Brooklyn Peter Witt streetcars. Here is an actual 8500 series Peter Witt of B&QT that is identical to the 8000 thru 8500 series B&QT Peter Witt Streetcars ---BELOW (I have an O Scale model I finished up back in 1990 of this 8500 series Peter Witt B&QT car - painted in the old Maroon & Cream BRT colors)
BELOW is the Bachmann "Baltimore" Model we both have in O Scale -- BELOW
Here is something "almost" similar to the Baltimore body style model --- this is B&QT (Brooklyn & Queens) trolley of the 6000 series - The difference is the 3-window front end --- and the windows behind the front door are 4 wide windows almost square solid windows with NO upper sash window. Behind the center door are 5 windows which match the Baltimore car basically with its 5 windows behind center door. The round rear end of the "Baltimore" style car would NOT match the front of the car with the angular 3 panels end sheets and end windows of the Brooklyn 6000 cars. The roofs of both cars (Bachmann B&QT body and Baltimore body prototype) are close enough --- see 2 photos BELOW
Here BELOW is an actually built and designed for Baltimore Transit System streetcar -- the same body style that Bachmann used for its generalized "Peter Witt" car. It is ONLY prototype for and used in the Baltimore System basically.
I ALSO have one of these (Baltimore Prototype Peter Witt / Bachmann) body shells in the Chicago Dark Maroon Red and cream paint scheme which closely enuf matches the Brooklyn pre-war Peter Witt color schemes --- here is that body shell below. I will have to repaint the roof a Salmon-tan color and I will finish it up as I will the other "B&QT based Baltimore " NYC BOT "Green & Silver Body Shell I mentioned previously interior, underbody, new floor and trucks, roof pole. -- see BELOW
So what am I up to ?? Well, In my world of vintage, heh, NY City Transit and my O Scale NYC EL and Trolley system and its trackside city-scape - heh -- these 3 cars will represent "pilot sample" cars I can make-believe were sold to B&QT transit as "demonstrator" cars by the Baltimore car builder --- and they were kept in the system and service long after the B&QT opted instead for the 6000 series Peter Witt Body Style we see in Brooklyn photos above. I already have other Brooklyn streetcars including an 8500 series Peter Witt, a Birney Car, some PCC's and a few deck roof cars.
Here is the Photo album LINK for my models of my Brooklyn Streetcars - seen under and around my El system --- https://www.flickr.com/photos/...ms/72157626532508359
Anyway -- the 1940's NYC Board Of Transportation Green & Silver paint scheme on these Baltimore-ish B&QT streetcars is excellent as they are !
