Walthers Proto 920-9742 HO Scale 85' ACF Baggage Dormitory Pennsylvania 6693

Deluxe 1

Serving double-duty, Baggage-Dormitory cars like this WalthersProto replica were standard equipment assigned to the general and other Pennsylvania trains. Delivered new in 1948, these cars had space for checked baggage, but also provided sleeping space for the kitchen staff of 18, as well as two stewards. This allowed the same crew to remain on board for the entire run, shaving precious time off the tight schedules and reducing costs.

Fully assembled, ready for operation or display, these limited edition HO Deluxe cars feature unique car names and numbers, along with factory-installed LED interior lighting as appropriate and Preiser figures throughout the train.

FEATURES:

• All-new tooling, first time in plastic!
• One-time run of car numbers on factory-printed cars - order now, limited quantity available
• Factory-installed grab irons
• Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
• Correct trucks
• Correct 36" RP-25 metal wheelsets
• Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers

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.
