Pacific Electric Trolley

That is nice. He did an awesome job on it.

A while back I'd catch the Alhambra to Downtown PE car and transfer in front of the old green colored Eastern Department Store, not far from Clifton's, to one of those to get to Long Beach. Some were old Marin county cars.

A long while back.

There are a couple of PE "Skin Jobs" (replicas) working Ports of Call in San Pedro, plus a restored "original replica" (a real car restored to match another series.) They're pretty impressive to watch and are quite popular during the summer.

This one was restored from a wreck. The restorer liked the 1000-series cars which ended at #1057. He logically numbered his at 1058. They don't run it that often but it's beautifully restored.


These are the replicas (also beautifully done.) They really put a great effort into these.

My Corgi PCC streetcar.

Flash:

Nice car. Didn't know Corgi produced one. Saw the prototype in San Francisco. That's another PE anomaly as PE didn't have the single-ended PCC cars, but San Francisco decorated one as a fitting tribute to PE. Are those the GHB power trucks under that Corgi?

Try and find the K-Line interurban. Cool!

Oh, how I've wished someone would do a PE "Ten" like 1050 shown in Mat's photo.

Matt-

Yes those are GHB trucks.
And I added the people to the interior.

Mr. Flash.

I have a toronto PCC streetcar that I want to put ghb trucks on, and a driver + passengers.

Do you have instructions you could send me on how to take apart the corgi to install the people?

I posted this in the Subway Forum. A really great Film on the one of the last Red Car trips from Downtown LA to Long Beach. At 2:06 on the Youtube counter there is an street car that goes by.

Do you already have the GHB trucks? There should be instructions included. Dont ask me where to find the GHB trucks if you don't. I just happened to get lucky with the ones I found.

The streetcar is glued and pressed together. I had to drill a few holes in the bottom to get it to come apart. Once I had the trucks and people installed I glued it all back together.

Beautiful model, Steve. Are the trucks from a Marx diesel?

The Disney California Adventure park across from Disneyland will have a PE replicar instead of the steamer ride Disney parks usually have when it opens it big refurbishment later this year.
