Hello Everyone!! Thank you for accepting me into your wonderful group.  

I have almost completed my collection of Corgi PCC Streetcars but am missing two of three TTC (Toronto Transportation Commission) units #55011 & #55025.  Can someone shed some light on this request?  I have purchased most or all of the streetcars on Ebay, and other internet hobby shops.  I simply cannot find the remaining two PCC Streetcars anywhere.  I hope somebody here can help me.  See attached photographs of my collection.  Thank you.

Hi

I put Corgi streetcar in Google and found pictures that PCC streetcar Erni  had placed here.

I just wished to help him with his collection 

Erni  you say that you are looking for two TTC models ,having counted the ones in the picture I count 29

There are 35 model PCC streetcars in total numbered #55001 to #55035

Number 55034 Cleveland was cancelled ( only one on eBay was sample sold for $300+).

Number 55029 Boston I have only seen One on eBay many years ago (not sure if pre-pro).

Number 55035 TTC ( only for employees a few sold in TTC shop Toronto  May 2017) so that makes 4 TTC.

All model streetcars were withdrawn by Hornby in 2010 who purchased Corgi in 2008 ,the TTC model from 2017 is classed as a Premium or B2B as it was commissioned by TTC .

 

 

 

Good Morning LewRail and Corgi1994, 

I really appreciate your kindness both of you. 

Early in April I completed my entire collections of the Corgi PCC Streetcars (all 32 includes the TTC 55010, 55011 and 55025) and Corgi Birney Safety Cars (all 7). 

If you know of any more that Corgi may have produced (like the ones you mentioned Corgi1994) then I would look into it.  Right now I am constructing the Corgi PCC Streetcar and Corgi Birney Safety Car Museum including a Corgi Classic, Fishbowl and Scenicruiser Bus Depot.  This will be a very large scale layout.  Details to follow in the very near future. 

Thank you again.

The only other streetcar missing from the list is the #US 24903 Lowboy with distressed streetcar on the back ,it is made of diecast but only classed as a load .

Hi Erni 

You say that you are making a Corgi Classic Fishbowl and Scenicruiser Depot I hope you make it big enough ?, there are 12/13 Scenicruiser's Numbers #54405 to #54417/#54418 and  35 Fishbowls.

I say 12/13 Scenicruiser's as there is one that I cannot confirm was cancelled but a trader who sold Corgi said it was ( I have not got one).

All are Code1 factory as with the Streetcars,  NOT Code 2/3 as after 20 years a lot have appeared.

Greetings Fourmites'... I just picked up a Corgi PCC Street Car off the Bay.  It states 1/50 scale.  After several measurements, it comes in at 1/74 scale.. Much smaller than 1/50.. Could almost pass for 1/87, HO.  This is the description: Die Cast ST Louis PCC Street Car, unknown number of 2700 1:50 Scale.

I planned to install O Scale trucks and a possible motor.. However, the motor trucks are quite expense... Jury still out on that detail.  I want to do an interior with LPs but the seats look a little small also.  Anyone familiar  with this particular car.  Bachman has PCC cars in HO.  I don't see any Corgi in HO.. Yet another question for those in the know...

Thanks in advance for any helpful info on this street car...

I have a Corgi PCC car on my S scale layout. It is way oversize for 1/64th S scale. The S gauge trucks look ridiculously narrow under the body. The model is 11" and a small fraction long. The Pittsburgh railways cars were 46' long, the 1700 series cars were 46'-6" long. 11" at 1/50th scale is 46', so I would say the model is 1/50th as advertised.

I am certain that is a Philadelphia Transit Company (PTC) trolly and not St. Lewis.

The fellas at Hennings discuss a Corgi conversion here Minute 18:



Here are some additional pictures of the Corgi 1/50th scale PCC car on my layout. The white car is an accurate S scale 40’ boxcar. In real life the PCC cars were not as tall as a 40’ boxcar and they were narrower. The shot of the chassis shows how narrow the S scale trucks are compared to the body width. This PCC car scales to 58’ in S compared to 46’-6” prototype. In every dimension it is 1/50th.
