A wood coach produced by ACF for the LIRR in 1902.
These coaches were numbered 259-269 (Apparently excluding cars numbered 264, 267 & 268). Another series which is also listed P-53 exists, which is dimensionally similar to this having also been produced in 1902. These coaches include car numbers 267-268, 270, 272 & 274). Differences between the two seem to the number of lanterns, with the former having 14 electric, and the latter having 5 gas powered lanterns, modifications can be made as needed.
Color should be white or cream letters with the body being LIRR Coach Brown (A sort of darkish Maroon in color). I have used Apple Barrel Red as a close approximate.. it is also a good approximate to PRR Tuscan Red. Roof can also be painted Black. Handrails will also need to be fashioned, and trucks are not yet supplied with this model. Decals will need to be sourced separately.
For reference as to livery lining & lettering arrangement, please refer to this lovely builders photo brought by the Delaware Public Archives, which can be found by clicking here. All rights reserved to them.
