This brass kit is designed to utilize
the Bowser HO PCC mechanism. It

etched brass. Add headlight, bell,
horn and other details of your
choice to match your prototype-
from over 60 railroads. Brill and Service Motor radiators are
Supplied with the kit.
Brill was a leading manufacturer of electric Interurbans and
streetcars in Philadelphia.Pa Following World War I, small firms across the USA began making gasoline powered trucks and cars. One of these was Service Motor Truck Co. of Wabash, Ind. Service, like many others subcontracted their carbody construction to Brill. Service's design became so popular that Brill purchased the firm, becaming the leader in rail motorcars. Larger cars came later, but Model 55 dominated the field until the famous RDC car. They found second and third homes over the years, including Sperry. Railroads that purchased model 55 new Were: United Rwy (Cuba), Frankfort & CincInnati, Middleton & Union, WP, Consolidated (Cuba), LEF&C, Erie, Asherton & Gulf, NdeM, Missouri Southern, Punxsutawney Coal, B&M,W Jersey & Seashore, Missouri Pacific, NC&StL,Wichita Falls& Southern, Port Lisbon & Western,Skagit Rwy, SA Uvaldo & Gulf, Chicago,Springfield & St Louis,Long Island, Atlantic & Western, Gulf Texas&W, Sewell Valley,South Africa Rwy,Unandilla Valley, Jefferson & SW, GM&N, Intrnl & Great Northern, South Australia, Lehigh Valley,Cambria & Indiana, Abilene & S, Tenn Alabama&Georgia, Greenwich & Johnsonville, Western Union,Ft Smith Subraco &Rock Island, Erie, Pennsylvania, Canadian National, CGW,Seaboard, Frisco, Great Northern, Maine Central,Fonda Johnstown&Gloverville, Knox&Carolina,Oneida&Western, C&O, Missouri &Arkansas, St L & SW,Hartford Eastern, Louisiana & Arkansas, Big Four,Argentina Southern, Uruguayan, New Orleans& Great Northern, Clinton& Oklahoma Western, Lehigh Valley.

LTD LTD
kits are primarily designed utilizing double etched brass (or nickel silver)
components. The
initial production run is scheduled when firm reservations reach a
sufficient level to cover the production tooling costs. When reservations
warrant, reruns are made from time to time in smaller quantities (and
re-priced according to current prevailing costs).
LTD models are produced to fulfill firm advanced orders. Limited
over-runs occur (kit components are gang run on large metal sheets) -thus
some items are sometimes "in
stock". Over
run stock kits are listed here
as "now available." Items
subject to rerun are listed as "reserve for rerun." Your phone/mail order
will not be charged until actual shipment.
Items
awaiting initial run (the wait is months after we complete the tooling here)
may still be reserved until our initial quantity is set-- if noted "in que."
Your phone/mail order credit card will not be charged until actual
shipment. Items
still requiring reservations to justify proceeding with
tooling preparation are listed farther down this page and on the
INTERURBAN page. Their reservations may be placed by phone or mail ALL MODELS ARE HO UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.Updated July 2008 |
