Trip Down South to Find PCC Parts

 Steve Iversen has been hard at work, going far to find parts for IRM PCC's.  

Shaker Heights 81 is a PCC in poor condition, privately owned near Dover, Ark.  But the owner has allowed us to acquire parts we need, and Steve went there recently.  He reports:

Today I got just about everything I think I can get off the Shaker Heights 81 by myself.  I removed both front and rear windows, since they are identical to the ones on the 4391, so now we have spares!  I removed the trolley pole and base along with the Ohio Brass retriever.  I also removed the battery tray, marker lights, and dash lights.  The battery tray and light sockets are needed for the Kansas City 755.

I wasn't able to get the MG set off because I don't have a fork or skid loader.  The Little Rock Birney is in the way.  The owner of the property is working on getting a crane so that we can lift the car off its trucks.  Most likely this will not happen until January.  I'll bring everything except the trolley pole and base up to the Museum sometime next month.

It's great that we are able to get parts we need, and that we have someone who is able and willing to go the distance to get them.  You too can help, from the comfort of home!  Donations are needed now to the KCPS 755 fund.
