I've seen photos of the restorations and I have to say that's a VERY classy old paint scheme!  Hopefully there'll be a model of it in the future.

Not quite the same thing but I've been lucky enough to latch on to the following MTH models, both Public Service and N J Transit.

Here's some video of those resurrected Philly PCC's.

Isn't it wonderful that SEPTA's people loved those cars too much to let them die?
