Pacific Coast Railway Combine 106 (TT scale)

Built by Carter Brothers in 1887 as a coach and re-built as a combination car in 1909.

The PCRy’s early roster of passenger cars were destroyed in an 1892 fire, except car 104, built by Kimball, which survived the fire. After that fire, new cars were ordered and some of the surviving cars were re-built. This model is based on drawings of these post-fire cars by Curt Johnson in the book The Pacific Coast Railway: Central California’s Premiere Narrow Gauge, Johnson & Westcott, Benchmark Publications.

This model includes 3D-printed body and floor. Modeler must supply Micro Trains Line 1025 (MTL-001 02 009) body-mount couplers, TT scale passenger car trucks (sold separately) or MTL rigid wood-beam trucks (MTL-003 02 190), Fox Valley (Scale Trains) metal wheelsets, 00-90 x 3/16” screws (4), brake wheel, .012” brass wire for steps, platform railings and brake staff, and Berkshire Junction EZ Line (or generic “knitting-in elastic”) for truss rods.
