Now Available: 2020 PSR/NMRA Convention Boxcar Car
Now Available: 2020 PSR/NMRA Convention Boxcar Car The Pacific Southwest Region/NMRA is offering its 2020 Convention Boxcar to the public. This is an Accurail HO scale Pacific Electric single-sheathed boxcar kit custom produced in a limited amount for the upcoming Convention. (An N scale car also is available.) The HO Scale Model Below is a photo of the model as built by me. This car is similar to but not the same as the Accurail Pacific Electric boxcar that was produced in 1993. That car also was sold by Alpine Division Scale Models. Accurail's 1993 car had wooden ends and was numbered 10134. The Convention car, numbered 2720, has steel ends and is a near replica of Pacific Electric's Class B-50-13 boxcar. The kit comes with a decal sheet for renumbering the car plus a separate add-on Convention logo. The Prototype Originally, there were 3,700 B-50-13 boxcars built in 1924 by the Standard Steel Car Company for the Southern Pacific and its subsidiaries. Two hundred cars were assigned to the Pacific Electric and numbered 2700-2899. As built, the cars had wood ends. Many of these cars received steel ends in the 1930s. PE still owned 177 of these cars in 1950. In June following year these cars became part of the SP fleet.??? Prototype PE B-50-13 photo from the Alan Weeks Collection: How To Get The Model You do not have to be registered for the Convention or be an NMRA member to buy the model. Visit the PSR Convention's Registration website at: Drop down to the Company Store Section. In this section scroll down to: Convention Car HO-Scale (Accurail Pacific Electric Single Sheath Boxcar, includes Convention Decal) $28.00 Click on "Add to Cart". You can pay with PayPal or credit card. The PSR Convention Committee will pay your shipping cost. Enjoy your Pacific Electric boxcar model.
