Although compartments and drawing rooms were becoming increasingly popular
with travelers in the 1920s, Pullman (and most railroads) still favored
open section cars, which carried more passengers and generated more revenue
per trip. As a result, the 10-1-2 became one of Pullman's most common
heavyweight cars, equipped with 10 open sections, two compartments and a
single drawing room. Based on cars built to Pullman Plan #3585, Lot #4728
in late 1923, this model is typical of cars modernized with air
conditioning in the 1930s, some of which remained in operation into the
1960s.
PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature
full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is
recommended for operation.
