Milwaukee, Wis. - Walthers announces the addition of Streamlined Pullman-Standard 10-6 Sleepers to its line of ready-to-run passenger cars. These HO Scale models will be available in April 2007.

When lightweight cars came to the Pullman fleet in the early 1940s, their smooth sides lent themselves to classy, colorful paint schemes. Corrugated stainless-steel sides, later added to match the look (and acknowledge the competition) of Budd's stainless-steel designs, created a variety of cars that ran on premier passenger trains.

Based on Plan #4140, Walthers all-new Pullman-Standard 10-6 Sleepers feature prototype specific body styles with corrugated or smooth sides with or without skirting as appropriate for each roadname. These all-new cars ride on GSC 41-N trucks with diecast sideframes and blackened metal wheelsets. Other features include flush-fitting windows, full interiors, working diaphragms, magnetic knuckle couplers and car number and name decals. Car bodies have molded-in drill starter points for easy installation of the supplied wire grab irons.

Streamlined Pullman-Standard 10-6 Sleepers retail for $34.98 each and will be available in April 2007 in the following roadnames:
