Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Trolley - 6 wide streetcar with minifigures - real world MOC

[Murdoch17]

'It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...'

This is a MOC of the Neighborhood Trolley, a model streetcar first used to get from the Kingdom of Make Believe to Mister Rogers house in the PBS show 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'. This version of the show ran from 1968 to 2001 in the USA, while an earlier version ran rom 1962 to ~1966 in Canada. Both shows were created and starred in by Fred Rogers, who sadly passed away in 2003. Even though the creator has passed on, and the original show ended, the story lives on in it's animated successor show: 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood', which started in 2012 and is still going. This new show also features the Neighborhood Trolley.

For this 6-wide MOC, I added some trolley poles to the design from the show, because it's got to have a way to get power, right? The MOC itself is partially inspired by an old MOC from over 20 years ago I saw on Brickshelf (R.I.P.) that was by user J-2, and by the streetcar in set 10308 Holiday Main Street plus a lot of my own work. This model replaces my earlier 8-wide version, and reuses a number of the parts of that four-year old MOC.
