Car 103 of the long gone Northwestern Pennsylvania Railway (Erie Pa -Cambridge Springs-Meadville-Linesville-Conneaut Lake) coming along. Conrad Baut roof, East Gary doors, Q Car trucks, windows and some sides from a Labelle kit, Q Car seats and controls, Selley motorman, --not even close to done, but coming along....

I chose this particular car because its remains are now the Crossroads Dinor in Edinboro, Pa. I have never done a wood model before and have very limited experience building trolleys at all, but really wanted to try to recreate this car....It will have DCC when completed(NCE card) and lighting. No kit for it exists, so I had to improvise quite a bit. With the Q Car seats and bulkheads, it has enough weight so that it ought to track quite nicely. Trolley poles will be Precision scale; roofwalks will be scratch.
Thank you very much for sharing!
Nice looking car!
To newer modellers I would like to say "Don't be afraid to try the wood kits" Even if you don't feel that you are ready to try shaping a roof(and I am with you all on that) you can find resin roofs and kitbash. If an inexperienced woman of near 60 can do it, you certainly can!
And, a nice looking diner, too!
Long trip there for me, but maybe later this Fall I'll be passing by close enough for a detour!
