Future projects from Bowser include Alco RS-3 locomotives.
Lee English is seeking information on chopnose RS-3s, rebuilt
RS-3s, and anything on Phase 2 and Phase 3 versions of the
Alco diesel.
Bowser is selling HO scale
ready-to-run PCC street
cars in six decorating
schemes. They include
Philadelphia Septa Phase
II (above), Toronto, Pittsburgh (Mod Desire scheme), San
Francisco Muni F-Line (green and cream scheme), San
Francisco F-Line Pacific Electric, and Los Angeles MTA (below).
The injection-molded
plastic body replicates a
post-war version of the
PCC car with “standee”
windows. The models
are powered by a can motor equipped with a flywheel driving
authentic 6’ 6” wheelbase trucks. Additional features include
window glazing, operating headlight, and operating roof trol-
ley poles. F-Line cars have dummy poles. Standard analog
DC models have a 21-pin plug for DCC. DCC sound versions
have a LokSound Select Dual-Mode decoder which allows the
model to be operated on layouts wired for DC or DCC. The
MSRP is $159.95 for DC models and $259.95 for DCC sound-
equipped models.
