| 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 cars, created a variety of cars that ran on premier passenger trains.
Walthers Pullman-Standard passenger cars bring this variety to HO Scale passenger trains with models matching the performance and detailing or our popular Budd passenger cars. Walthers Pullman-Standard cars feature as many as four body styles; smooth or fluted sides, with or without skirting as appropriate for each roadname.
They ride on GSC 41-N trucks with diecast sideframes and blackened-metal wheelsets.
Other features include flush-fitting windows, full interiors, working diaphragms, magnetic knuckle couplers and car number and name decals.
The car bodies have molded-in drill starter points that make installing the supplied wire grab irons easier. All cars, unless noted, have built-in provisions for the Walthers Passenger Car Interior Lighting Kits: DC Version 933-1049, and DCC Version 933-1084,(both sold separately).
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.
