A wood coach produced by ACF for the LIRR in 1902.
These coaches were numbered 259-269 (Apparantely excluding cars numbered 264, 267 & 268). Another series which is also listed P-53 exists, which is dimensionally similar to this having also been produced in 1902. These coaches include car numbers 267-268, 270, 272 & 274). Differences between the two seem to the number of lanterns, with the former having 14 electric, and the latter having 5 gas powered lanterns, modifications can be made as needed.
Color should be white or cream letters with the body being LIRR Coach Brown (A sort of darkish Maroon in color). I have used Apple Barrel Red as a close approximate.. it is also a good approximate to PRR Tuscan Red. Roof can also be painted Black.
