Description
This is an HO scale model of a New York Central Stainless Budd Baggage-Dorm. Pullman-Standard may have been America’s largest railroad car manufacturer, but Budd was without a doubt the most stylish. Rapido’s New York Central Baggage-Dorm reflects that style. Baggage Dormitory cars were used on many trains throughout North America, providing baggage/express service along with sleeping quarters for the on-board service crew. In later years, many of these cars lost their bunks and were converted to full baggage cars. This model is based on the prototype built by Budd in 1954/55. This Superior Stainless Budd Baggage-Dorm car is without a doubt amongst the most detailed Budd passenger car models ever produced.
This Baggage-Dorm includes: Realistic stainless steel finish, track-powered interior lighting compatible with DC and DCC layouts, Full underbody detail including separate air, steam and electrical lines, Separate metal grab irons, stirrups and end gates, Accurate D22 brake equipment and piping, Super-detailed 41-NDO-11 trucks with end frames, Full multi-color interior detail, Sprung diaphragms, Metal Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers
