The first lettered Pacific Coast Air Line Railway car. A MDC old time stock car backdated to the 1870's in OO by the addition of HO 36" wheels to represent the 33" OO wheels.
The decals were printed on an ALPS MD-1000. Engineer Bill and the crew are really excited about having a PcalRwy car. Now the underframe and trucks need a coat of paint.
Just a thought

The Pacific Coast Air Line is changing to 1870's link an pins, there is a link on the front of the locos to couple to the car drawbar:
I have a web article about the initial steps in developing the system at:
