Last week, I bought a pair or long out of production Miniatures by Eric Pacific Electric shells. The passenger unit is a 1100 class, and the box motor is a 1445 class. Both of these will be powered by Tomix chassis.
I can’t wait to see real Pacific Electric traction on the Playa Desnuda branch.
So Brad, aka Nscalestation, was kind enough to send me some Atlas line poles with catenary hangers…
Now let’s flash back to June of 1952 and we caught the westbound PCC heading into Playa Desnuda
February 22, 1953 was a special day for the Pacific Electric. It marked the only time that a Pacific Electric PCC car went down the Airline. Fortunately, they ran the PCC’s down to Playa Desnuda almost every weekday during the summer for people to enjoy the beach view. Here we have the last car heading back to Los Angeles on June 11, 1952 as the sun is setting….Fortunately I had two cameras with me and I was able to get a decent picture with Kodachrome…
I have added some more ground cover to Playa Desnuda, even areas that will be stuctures…
I had a minor surgery this week, so my modeling has been minimal. All that I did was make three more trees and added some more ground cover to my N Scale Pacific Electric branch.
