I think that John Lye indicated that the TR3A was rolled up on it's side on
top of wrestling mats. I am sure he has a few stories, if he has a moment.
On the DVD there was another movie, with a trailer, that was set in 1954
Baltimore. It had "Heights" in the title and it was by the director.
I used to be a customer of Start Your Engines and likely still have an old
catalog around somewhere.
