Description
The equal of any five-star restaurant, the WalthersProto 85' Pullman-Standard 36-Seat Diner serves up fine dining for HO passengers aboard the combined Super Chief / El Capitan! Delivered new in 1950 for Super Chief service, diners could enjoy superbly prepared food in comfortable surroundings featuring Native American-inspired decor. Most later went to Amtrak, with one car retained for the executive car fleet. Ready for operation or display, features of this WalthersProto replica include:
Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
Correct GSC 41-NDO Outside Swing Hanger trucks as used in the 1960s
Factory-installed grab irons
Prototypically accurate window tinting
Window gasket details as appropriate
Sprung operating diaphragms
Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
Turned metal RP-25 wheelsets and correct trucks with built-in electrical contacts
Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
