Product Description

Arrowhead Models is offering the Penn Central Committee Design hopper in 14 road numbers and 4 unique paint schemes–all of which are a subtle variation of the standard diagram: black cars with standard reporting marks, road numbers and PC emblem. The difference between these schemes is that they have different Hollidaysburg shop dates and small variations in the COTS, ACI and capacity data.

The skus / road numbers from this paint scheme set are organized so that each have: double COTS, ACI and Hollidaysburg 11-75 Shop stencils.

Penn Central's Committee Design cars are of Pennsylvania Railroad heritage, and each car bears the correct PRR road number near the trust stencil per the Penn Central’s practice of documenting original ownership.

Official lettering diagrams were procured, and then we didn't rest on those laurels, we compared data against our own field notes of extant PC Committee Design cars. Additionally, we worked with the Penn Central Historical Society and procured our own photographs and data of PC cars over a period of 4 years!

 

About the Model:

The design of every part of this model is driven by dimensional data. There is no part where the designer looked at a photograph and "eye-balled" it. No part of the design is scaled from a photograph. There is no guess work and no derived measurements. We had fabrication prints; we had the actual parts in hand, or we meticulously field measured it.

Arrowhead’s Penn Central Committee Design hopper consists of 187 parts per car. It is the most detailed, part intensive open hopper in HO Scale. We have matched the specific details of the Pullman-Standard built cars, including the obvious details, like: Miner gate appliances, Miner hand brake and brake layout, and less obvious details, like: the combination 1942-design hand brake and 1955-design brake wheel, the unique retaining and release rod configurations, and the Pullman defect card holder.

That’s right: everything down to the correct styles of defect card holders are accurately matched.
