Are there any subway/elevated transit system models out there that are close to the equipment once used by the Philadelphia Transportation Co ( PTC ), on either the Frankfort Elevated or the Broad Street Subway ? I'm talking about the cars I grew up with in the '50s.
And don't forget that, "You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El, 'cause the Frankford El goes straight to Frankford.

ISLAND MODEL WORKS (aka Owner Joe Ogden) has NOW released info and photos on his new O SCALE Market-Frankford (1960 built) BUDD Almond Joy EL car -- available as a body shell and with all parts including trucks to complete the shell to full finished detailed model. Here is the link to his Page for the car with photos --- I reserved on car for myself.... I saw the finished Pilot Model Body at our NYCMTA Assn Mass Transit Modelers Meet Nov. 3 at Parsippany, N.J. The car is fantastic !! Page Link below:
