These cars were rebuilt for SEPTA in 2001-2004 for the reopening of the Route 15 line. A total of 18 cars were stripped to their frames by Brookville Car and rebuilt with new seats, trucks, propulsion, electronics and climate control, resulting in possibly the most advanced PCCs around. They are essentially LRVs in PCC shells and are painted in the old PTC green, cream and silver-grey colours.

We now have a 3D-printed frame available for this shell that uses the Bowser mechanism. The Bowser #125141, which was previously recommended, is no longer available from Bowser.
