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:
- 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
- Santa Fe (Real Metal Finish, Includes Decals)
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.
Arriving in the summer of 1956 for El Capitan service, these WalthersProto replicas are based on the six Budd prototypes and come with decals for all cars from 650 to 655.
