The new Classic Trains has another great picture of the beautiful old cars in downtown Oklahoma City and the sort of buildings we have no models of. I think the date is 1946, but could be 1951 tops.
Reminded me of Pasadena, CA in '53/54 except the cars were newer, Buster Brown shoes, Montgomery Wards, and no real tall buildings in background.
I’d like to model that look.
Also some great shots of a Streamlined Brill Trolley. Never knew.
The OK city picture reminded me of the great shot in New Orleans in the prior(?) Classic Trains, later '50s - anyone modeling that time frame should look
for details in those scenes. I like the look, a far cry from the buldings in every little Illinois town, popular in Walthers, DMP and other buildings. (I’ve seen more little Illinois towns in 4 years than many people who lived here all their lives)
I think all our trolleys went to Mexico City… [C):-)]
