Inspired by the old Alexander cast brass coaches of the pre-war era, LLW has crafted a coach body. Of course, what do we KNOW about the prototype?
Near as we can establish, it appears that the coach may have been based on either a Cumberland Valley or Pennsylvania Railroad coach. However I'm not going to pretend there isn't a potential for multiple features of the old Alexander cars coming from multiple sources.
What this car is, however, is just the 3D printed body. 1800s railroading in niche. But I've heard from enough modelers in that era to know that when it comes to coaches, duckbill roofs are a pain to try and build from scratch so they look right. But it's my hope that with the hard part done, at least in trying to craft a generic car body, those modlers might have a bit of an edge in trying to build out an old style coach such as this.
