V & T Coach No. 3 1872-1874

Virginia & Truckee Coach No. 3 as-built
Built by Kimball Manufacturing Company of San Francisco; Coach No. 3 was part of a four-car set delivered to the V&T August 1872 and put into work on the unfinished Reno branch.
Once the branch line was completed, these 4 cars saw heavy service running between Reno and Virginia City.
After two years of hard use, the 4 cars were rebuilt by the V&T. Coach No. 3 received entirely new interior wood-work, new floors and seats; as well as air brakes.
Periodic upgrades and repaints continued until the car was retired in 1936. The next year, Coach No. 3 was sold to Paramount Pictures.
Eventually, the car came to the Nevada State Railroad Museum, where it is held in the Museum's reference collection for future research.

This model depicts Coach No. 3 as it might have appeared from 1872 until its rebuild in 1874.

Thanks also to Dan Gollery for various detail parts, and Andrew Brandon for artwork and color assistance.
