Description

WalthersProto HO 920-18917 85' Pullman-Standard Southern Pacific 83-C-2 Coach SP #2401

This model is painted in bright silver (simulating stainless steel) with a red letterboard, as used on the prototypes after 1953.

Built as long-distance chair cars by Pullman-Standard, and delivered in late 1949, these cars were fitted with 44 reclining seats, offering low-cost options for overnight travelers. Two were assigned to the "City of San Francisco" and wore UP colors, with an additional three named cars used on the "Golden State" in simulated stainless with a red roof and upper sides from delivery to 1954, when they were repainted into the simplified Simulated Stainless Scheme with red letterboard and numbers in place of the names.

Other features include:

• Fully assembled with superb WalthersProto detail inside and out
• Mix and match for a custom consist or expand other period streamliners
• Factory-installed grab irons
• Prototypically accurate window tinting and gaskets as appropriate
• Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
• Correct 36" RP-25 metal wheelsets
• Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers

PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct protoype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
