Streetcar PCC 551
I had built a generic European Streetcar/Tram that I posted here and had then been shown images of a local (to me at least) Streetcar used in Kansas City. Once I saw it I knew I had to build it. This is an 8-wide, 48 stud long recreation of that Streetcar. The were a number of different paint schemes used in PCC 551's history including one with a black swoosh down the side, but this one is a later version. I used the red tile on a headlight brick to represent the KC Public Service logo which is the Scout image.
Here's an image of the original taken by Stephen Rees https://flic.kr/p/5unpgz
The windows are 'authentic'. Apparently the head of the KC Public Services department decided that the traditional split windows that normally come with the PCC looked old fashioned so he commissioned the new single pane approach.
Here's an image of the doors - they're inset half a stud using jumper plates and made up of a combination of SNOT plates and tiles, L-shaped plates and Darth Maul's Light Sabers!
Here's the door build details
Of course there's an interior! With seating for 19 Passengers and standing room for a further 11.
And one final shot of the Streetcar with a couple of passenger's who probably won't get it.
Comments, criticism and ridicule most welcome!
Edit: Having a chance to think about the front end I'd like to show you this revised version
