MTH Brill Trolley with The Trolley Song (Hanley/Martin) sung by Linda Eder:
This is the song that goes:
Clank, clank, clank went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding went the bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings,
From the moment I saw him I fell.
Judy Garland sang it in the movie Meet Me in St. Louis.

Arnold, while not "O" gauge, it is a trolley.

That one's a beauty, Dan. I also like the crystal clear video. Must have been made using something better than an I-Phone camera

Fabulous! What a great bunch of trolleys to see. Just love PCCs
Are they all MTH or did you have some scale proportioned units motorized? I could not tell from the images of your sampling.
Just great!

I do it all. These would be headed to a museum for restoration as I seen them around 1968.
Thanks

Thanks! Those PCCs were all MTH except for the orange Lionel one, which was an unpowered Corgi. I do have a powered Corgi Chicago car...
More of the fleet...
And I'm noodling about with the idea of turning a K-Line RDC set into EMU cars...

A few messed up 2r'ers junkers I found on ebay.
Exquisite weathering!
Say, I have a prewar bronze cast ACTC Brilliner! Care to have a go at her?

Thanks Arnold. I use my iPhone to take all of my pictures and videos. It's not even a new iPhone. It's a 5c I believe.
I see some Corgi PCCs are mentioned. I have one that is unpowered. My wife bought it for me maybe 25 or 30 years ago. If I recall, there were motorizing kits for them. Are these kits still available ?
The gentleman that offered the GHB power trucks is retired and has none available for the Corgi cars. Here are some of mine with upgraded lighting:
Another Bowser Brill car
This is a Corgi DSR PCC car with the GBH power trucks, led interior lighting, led headlight and taillights...
This is a Western Hobby Craft Johnstown car, a real great runner

The Lionel 60 trolley was my first trolley when I got into Postwar trains at 5 years old. Today I have two Postwar Lionel 60 trolleys, one with blue lettering and a two piece bumper and the other also with blue lettering and a solid one piece bumper.
