Unlike conventional passenger equipment built primarily to transport travelers, instruction cars were adapted specifically for education and railroad employee development.

Its proven 80-foot coach design captures the overall appearance and character of these specialized cars while providing excellent operational characteristics for HO scale layouts.

Decorated for the legendary New York Central Railroad, X23177 offers an excellent addition for NYC collectors, passenger car enthusiasts and modelers interested in unusual railroad company-service equipment.
