When
lightweight cars came to the Pullman fleet in the
early 1940s, their smooth sides lent themselves
to classy, colorful paint schemes. Corrugated stainless-steel
sides, later added to match the look (and acknowledge
the competition) of Budd's stainless-steel designs,
created a variety of cars that ran on premier passenger
trains.
Based on Plan #7484, the Walthers Pullman-Standard 64-Seat Coaches feature
roadname-appropriate body styles with corrugated or smooth sides, with
or without skirting. The cars ride on GSC 41-N trucks with blackened
metal wheels. Other features include flush-fitting windows, full interiors,
working diaphragms, Accumare(R) knuckle couplers, car number and name
decals and factory-installed electrical pickups for drop-in interior
lighting kit #933-1099 (sold separately).
