  You might also try the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum, at least as a
  resource for finding a trolley. Their contact informaion is on their web
  site at http://www.sftm.org/ which also seems to have a fair amount of other
  information about trolleys as well. They run a restored light rail trolley
  at their museum.
