Prototype Information:
Following the success of our Superior Stainless Budd Mid-Train Dome, it is our pleasure to announce the HO scale Superior Stainless Budd Baggage-Dorm. Pullman-Standard may have been America’s largest railroad car manufacturer, but Budd was without a doubt the most stylish. And Rapido’s new 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. Our model is based on the Canadian Pacific prototype built by Budd in 1954/55. Many railroads operated similar cars.
The Rapido Trains HO scale Budd Baggage-Dorm features:
- 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
- 3D CP beaver shields on CPR models - not just a printed picture.
- Sprung diaphragms
- Metal Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers
- Minimum 22" radius curves are recommended

Rapido HO Budd Baggage-Dorm ATSF Budd built car
I am impressed with the workmanship and the detail on the model. It looks great and the underbody gear is all there. I think there are over 300 separate parts and that is a lot for just one car. The only concern I have is not with the car but with the ATSF version. I am not an expert on these baggage-dorm cars, but the few I have actually seen running on the ATSF had the baggage door all the way at the front of the car. I actually like the "look" of having the door centered in the baggage zone, and there still could have been some of these cars exactly like this on the ATSF. It will look very much a home in a consist of Walthers HO ATSF light weight cars. I was also impressed with the fact that it came with two sets of couplers for close coupling on wide radius track and "comfortable" coupling on tighter curves. I was also impressed with the speed of delivery of this item, one day shipping, and during the holiday and bad weather season too!
