Move mail in style by streamliner! Increasingly aware of their image, many
railroads made sure every car on their newest post-war trains was
streamlined. And since mail contracts often made passenger service
profitable, Railway Post Office (RPO) cars were a sign of the company's
commitment to the Postal Service too. Fully equipped to collect, sort and
deliver mail enroute, streamlined RPOs were found on many premier trains.
This ready-to-run model is complete with a full interior, flush-fitting
windows, modeler-applied wire grab irons (drilling points are molded on the
body to aid installation), a removable roof, working diaphragms and a
detailed underbody. Car name and number decals are provided so you can add
your favorite car number.
Other features include RP-25 metal wheels, trucks with metal sideframes and
Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. Factory-installed electrical pickups
allow easy installation of the snap-in Interior Lighting Kit (#933-1049 DC
Version or #933-1084 DCC Version, sold separately) if desired.
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.
