Railroad Short Name: UP
Sure to be the centerpiece of your layout or collection, choose a car from TWO Deluxe Edition 1960s City of Los Angeles sets, each with 10 limited-edition cars! Along with all the standard features found on WalthersProto models, these exclusive sets include more than 150 Preiser passengers and crew figures throughout the train, factory installed LED interior lighting as appropriate, and both sets feature different factory-printed names or numbers.
Delivered in mid-1947 from American Car & Foundry (ACF) as lot #3031, plan #7667156, cars #5000-5006 included a 24-seat cafe section, an eight-seat card area and 20 comfortable lounge seats. As demand for affordable meals increased however, UP rebuilt the cars in 1959 with 16 lounge seats and a new eight-seat lunch counter. Externally, two windows and a service door were removed to provide additional storage. A great addition to your authentic 1960s City of Los Angeles, other features of this WalthersProto replica include:
- Prototypically accurate window tinting & black gaskets as appropriate
- Factory-installed stainless steel grab irons
- Modeler-installed extended drawbars for use on 22″ radius curves included
- Turned metal wheelsets and correct trucks with built-in electrical contacts
- Fully assembled and finished in authentic colors
- 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.
