Pacific Coast Railway Gondola #1221 (N scale)

PCRy gondolas were all built in the PCRy shops on 33-foot flatcar bases and had two- three- or four-board sides. #1221 was converted from the flatcar of the same number sometime between 1915 and 1932. Model based on drawings by Curt Johnson in the book “The Pacific Coast Railway – Central California’s Premier Narrow Gauge”.

Model includes 3D-printed body and floor. Modeler must supply Micro Trains Line 905 body-mount couplers, Micro Trains Line 004 02 400 arch-bar trucks, 00-90 x 1/4” screws (2), Micro Trains N 49905911 (1089) Peacock Vertical Brake wheel, .012” brass wire for steps and brake staff, and Berkshire Junction EZ Line (or generic “knitting-in elastic”) for truss rods.
