The Con-Cor HO PCC Car Model:

     Con-Cor chose to model a "Pre-War" model of the PCC car as the Los Angeles PCC #3001 car has been preserved at the Orange Empire Railway Museum near Los Angles, this car was built in May 1937 and is still running and giving Tourists and Streetcar buffs a short ride at the Museum today, 71 years after it was first built !

      The major difference between the "Pre-WW II" PCC and "Post-WWII" version was that those built after WW-II had the "Standee" windows above the side windows. Our model is of the "Pre-War II" car without the standee windows. Although some of the photos shown are of "Standee" cars where we could not find good color photos of that paint scheme on a Pre-War II car body. Please do not be confused, the only version of the PCC body we are making is the "Pre-War II" car as shown in the photo above of the Los Angeles car.

      While the PCC car was a "Standard Design" bureucrates in the individual cities that bought them had to add some "personal" touches, such as extra lights, wider Anticlimbers etc etc. We can not model each and every variation. So we chose to stick with the Los Angeles car which is typical in most details to the original PCC Car design.
