Milwaukee, Wis. - Walthers announces new roadnames for its HO Scale Pullman-Standard 48-Seat Diner. This ready-to-run car will be available in August 2007.

Following WWII the nation's railroads were eager to upgrade their passenger fleets with new streamlined cars. The Walthers streamlined Pullman-Standard 48-Seat Diner, based on the IC's "Shadrach Bond" built to P-S Plan #7585, is typical of post-war diners. This Walthers 48-seat diner is a welcome addition to any HO passenger car fleet. The models come ready to run with flush-fitting windows, working diaphragms, full underbody detail and interiors. Each features smooth or corrugated sides as appropriate for each roadname. The car rides on trucks with appropriate GSC 41-N sideframes and metal RP-25 wheels and comes equipped with knuckle couplers. A complete set of modeler-applied grab irons is also provided and each has built-in provisions for the Walthers Passenger Car Interior Lighting Kits: DC Version 933-1049, $10.98, and DCC Version 933-1084, $7.98 (both sold separately). The cars are now available decorated in several additional paint schemes and each includes car name and number decals:
