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. |
