Electric City updates

I've received some updates on equipment at the Electric City Trolley Museum courtesy of an RyPN user who goes by the handle "6-18003." The most photogenic of these changes is shown above: Delaware Electric Power 120, which I believe is the only preserved car from the Wilmington, Delaware city system, is now once again operational. This attractive little single-trucker used to run at the old Penn's Landing Trolley operation but it's been a while since it saw use. For a while it was stored in Buckingham but was moved to Scranton about five years ago.

Other updates include progress on Scranton "Electromobile" 505, which has had the "frame only" notation removed. Steel work on the car is substantially done and work is beginning on rebuilding the wooden components of the body. The car is also being readied for its original trucks and WH 510A motors. I'm still looking for control and brake valve information on the car though.

And finally, a slight correction was made to Third Avenue Railway System 651, the open car at Scranton that saw later use on the Five Mile Beach Electric. Its motors were WH 56's once but they're long gone so it will be fitted with GE 80A motors out of a scrapped snow sweeper. (And it will only have two of them as it's got Maximum Traction trucks!) This change has been noted.
