Bachmann has announced an HO scale Peter Witt based on the 1930 Brill Master Unit Peter Witts for Baltimore. Here are some photos of one of the models:

The car will be ready to run for two rail or overhead.

Some new photos have been added. Photos 4320 and 4321 almost look like a Toronto car. Alas it's CSL, but there also are Brooklyn, Baltimore and LATL versions plus the original St. Louis United Railways.

I have the Bachmann PCC. If the Peter Witt is the same motor then I have to warn you that it runs really fast and nowhere near prototypical speed.

This trolley is apparently getting very good reviews. It can operate around Richard Or 6 1/4" switches unmodified.

Saw them at Trains on Brant look nice $79.99 I think was the price they were selling for.

cntown: we were in there today as well. Looked nice, but not Toronto. Bought Emily for $39.99.
Interested to see that they had a retriever rope on the trolley pole. I think that's a first for HO RTR.

I don't know how they sell for less than everyone else around TO. I buy stuff from them sometimes $25- $40 cheaper than other LHS. The thing I have seen is they only sell the stuff that moves not much detail parts.
