with acrylic patio paint mixed to an antique color and airbrushed on the logs and cars.

Then there's the LBG Summer Passenger Car.
Cute little bugger, but who wants to ride in a
bright red car that looks like a toy train car?

After a few days in the PCSRR Kitbash car and paint
shops, the 2 cars are transformed into the "Prescott
Canyon Train Tours" "Tour Car Emily" (r) and "Tour Car
Amanda" (lr) ready for tourists to take the tour on the
PCSRR main line and the Prescott Canyon Mine Loop.
LEDs have been installed as EOT devices for passenger
safety. Batteries are hidden under the seat and the SPST
switch has been hot glued to the bottom for easy access.

Combine as it came out of the box. The left image
shows the car 2 3/4 inches shorter, cupola added,
repainted, relettered "Prescott Canyon Southern"
and named for grand daughter "Kelley Josephine".
This car is part of the new "Red Garratt Train."
