Arrive rested and refreshed! Fitted with ten roomettes and six double
bedrooms, this interior arrangement was widely used by major railroads.
Offering more privacy and luxury, these extra-fare sleepers were commonly
assigned to the best long-distance trains. Amtrak still uses them on some
eastern routes.
Your Walthers model is a fitting tribute to these legendary cars. As
the prototypes were modified over time, the models are offered in both
As-Built and Amtrak versions with specific details and ends appropriate to
the era. Each ready-to-run model is complete with a full interior,
flush-fitting windows, wire grab irons, a removable roof with separate
details, working diaphragms and a complete underbody featuring diecast GSC
Commonwealth trucks with RP-25 metal wheels. Walthers swinging drawbar
system is standard equipment on all models to improve operation on small or
large curves. Working knuckle couplers and optional horn-hook couplers are
also included. Electrical pickups are already installed, which allows easy
installation of the snap-in Interior Lighting Kit (#933-1049, sold
separately) if desired. For longer trains or a larger fleet of cars,
numberboard decals are also provided.
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.
