Hello Tom
Here is a better quality movie -- from 2015, of the fully restored TARS Trolley # 678 at the National Capital Trolley Museum in Wheaton Maryland.

I can close my eyes and I'm riding in Yonkers again ! Even with the chatter of the "other passengers..." LINK BELOW

BELOW also are two photos of my model of TARS CAR # 629 shown on the street in the shadows of my overhead Elevated Train Line -- Car # 629 which is the sister to # 678 seen operating in the Museum movie !!
