I. History: a PCC Car: Designed to fulfill a need for a streetcar that could compete with cars and buses, the Presidents’ Conference Committee (PCC) Streetcar was first built in 1936. The PCC was a gathering of the Presidents of United States electric street railways, who collected research to be used in the production of a high-performance street car. The resulting design was efficient, comfortable and had advanced features such as noise reduction, magnetic braking, and resilient wheels. The PCC streetcar was so successful that it was exported to other nations (St. Petersburg, Russia had a fleet of more than 2,000) and many are still in service today with museums and heritage railways. The design proved successful in the United States, and after World War II it was licensed for use elsewhere in the world where PCC based cars were made. The PCC car has proved to be a long-lasting icon of streetcar design, and many are still in service around the world.Many rail fans view it as the most beautiful street car ever made. b. Los Angeles Railways (LARy) and the P-1 PCC Car: Los Angeles ran PCC streetcars from 1937 to 1963. Shirley Temple, then America’s biggest child star, unveiled its first PCCs on March 23, 1937. The Deco PCCs immediately caught LA’s attention, especially when compared to the spindly and odd-looking streetcars that then dominated LARy. The nascent Los Angeles Railway Company was purchased in 1898 by Henry E. Huntington, nephew of Collis P. Huntington, one of the “Big Four” magnates who built the mighty Southern Pacific Railroad, long the dominant force in California politics. Huntington built LARy into a strong urban system, with as many as 20 lines and 1,250 streetcars, primarily serving central Los Angeles on narrow gauge (3’6″, same as San Francisco’s cable cars) track.The average Angeleno knew LARy as the “Yellow Car” system for the color of its cars. Its counterpart, Pacific Electric (PE), started by Huntington in 1901 and known as the “Red Car” system, was mostly an interurban operation with a few PCCs from downtown LA to Burbank and Glendale. The two-tone yellow cars had a simple livery compared to the flashy PCC paint scheme. The LARy streetcars never even carried their owner’s logo, even though the company had an attractive one. LARy did see an incredible spike in ridership during World War II, primarily caused by people who already owned automobiles being forced back onto transit by gasoline and tire rationing.At the peak of patronage, in January 1945, the Huntington estate sold LARy to the consortium of oil, tire, and bus interests managed by National City Lines (NCL). The simple two-tone yellow paint scheme gave way to the standard NCL “fruit salad” livery modeled by streetcar No. 1080, and an era in Los Angeles streetcar history ended.Yet, Los Angeles’ meticulously maintained narrow-gauge PCCs outlasted their standard gauge PE counterparts, and even after leaving LA, many of the LARy cars soldiered on for decades more in their second home–Cairo, Egypt. LARy #3001 Type P-1 PCC, built by St. Louis Car Co. in 1937, is the last surviving P-1 operated by Orange Empire Railway Museum; Perris, CA. The last remaining lines were taken over by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (a predecessor to the current agency, The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro)) along with the remains of the Pacific Electric Railway in 1958. The agency removed the remaining five streetcar lines (J, P, R, S and V) and two trolley bus lines (2 and 3), replacing electric service with diesel buses after March 31st, 1963 II. For sale: Soho Los Angeles Railway (LARy) P-1 PCC Brass HO Scale POWERED Rare. a. Model Overview: This is Kumata of Japan, rendition of Los Angeles Railway P-1 PCC car imported by S. Soho & Co. (SOHO). This model represents the pre-war (1937) air-electric PCC cars as rebuilt by the LATL with the sealed sash windshield. Its usual assignments were the “J,” “P,” “R,” “S,” “V” and “3” lines. Imported in 1974 with a standard belt drive RTR motor, the model is a decent runner and, with routine maintenance, should run for years to come. The model is not easy to come by. Only 400 were manufactured and sold in 1974. It is unknown how many remain. It will fit nicely in a Los Angels urban layout of its era (1937 -1963). b. Model Features: Single Pole 46′ P-1 PCC with standard belt drive electric DC motor. c. Model Finish: Unfinished Brass d. Model Trucks: Enhanced details on wheels and truck e. Important note:Although new, this Car was in storage for over 15 years. It is recommended for longer running time and better performance to inspect, and clean out the gear case of all old grease, particularly if the grease has caked (hard, and dry). Use Isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush for cleaning. And lubing w/ Labelle 106 usually does the trick, Other bushing/ bearing points should be oiled w/ plastic compatible lubricant (motor shaft, worm bearing as well as any axle and other pivot points. f. Image notes:First four images are stock images from previous sales to show detail only. Final image is the actual model and box. I do not want to remove the unit for photos so please do not ask. The unit unlike the stock images, has no scuffs. III. Refinishing (Advanced Modler requires mechanical and refinishing experience): i. Disassemble: Remove all components to be refinished, set all mechanical parts aside for reassembly. ii. Metal prep and cleaning: Soak all brass parts in no less than 4% acetic acid (Distilled White Vinegar) for 24 to 48 hours. With latex gloves to prevent fingerprints, remove parts, rinse thoroughly in running warm water, with toothbrush scrub thoroughly with Backing soda. The rinse step provides a nice, finely scratched surface for painting. All vinegar must be thoroughly rinsed out; otherwise, corrosion will begin even after refinishing. Thoroughly dry with a cloth and blow-dry with high heat to ensure components are dry. iii. Primer: recommend white two-part (2K) epoxy primer sprayed. Apply one thin wet coat let dry to matte finish. Most Automotive 2K (PPG) and industrial 2K (Rust-oleum Sherwin Willems) primers recommend top coating within 24 hours. White is highly recommended to prevent bleed through. Wipe down all parts with a paper towel dipped in denatured alcohol to remove any dust and fingerprints before top coat. iv. Top coat: Use water-based or oil-based hobbyist paint for the topcoat. The LARy was well known for its distinctive yellow streetcars. Initially, cars had a two-tone yellow paint scheme with a lighter shade for the roof (See image #11). Under LATL, a three-color “fruit salad” scheme was adopted, with a yellow body, a white roof, and a sea-foam green midsection (See image #12. V. Box: Original Shelf wear Peeling Label. V.
