Hi Harald,
<<Are there anywhere buses left, which where looking very much like
PCC-streetcars (I don´t know their designation)?>>
Not sure if you meant these:
_http://cptdb.ca/wiki/images/8/8c/5931.jpg_
(http://cptdb.ca/wiki/images/8/8c/5931.jpg) they were built from 1940 to 1969 and were replaced by the
New Looks. There are a few in museums but none in actual service.
Exactly these buses!
"
There were over 3600 of that model built and this page:
_http://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=General_Motors_TDH-5105_
(http://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=General_Motors_TDH-5105) gives details of who
used them and has a list of preserved units,
Thanks for the link.
As these buses where built from 1940 onwards I presume they mainly
replaced the streetcars in many places. As they where looking very similar to the
PCC-cars presumably many people even did not notice the change over from
streetcar to bus.
Greetings and best wishes
Harald
