HO 60' Pullman Common Standard Baggage Car Union Pacific #1161 (ATH-2643)

HO-scale Union Pacific 60-foot Pullman Common Standard Baggage Car, road number 1161, is a faithful model of a steel-hauled baggage car from the Harriman era. Designed to carry passenger baggage, parcels and occasional special loads on long-distance trains, this car reflects the Common Standard design that emphasized interchangeability and cost efficiency across lines.

Details include an arched roof with simulated rivets, Pintsch gas vents, roof vents and a stove smokestack, plus drip strips over doors and formed wire grabs with ladder rests. The roof is magnetically detachable for access to the interior, and doors appear as wooden or ply-metal variants per prototype. Two underframe options are offered: an as-built version with a toolbox and two gas tanks, or a modernized version with a battery box. Additional refinements cover diaphragms on ends, stirrup steps, brake cylinder and triple valve, an air tank, McHenry knuckle-spring couplers, four-wheel trucks, window glazing and interior detailing. The model is weighted for reliable operation on HO layouts and suits an 18-inch minimum radius. For Union Pacific schemes, UP-specific detailing adds wooden doors, underbody gas tanks, a toolbox and an air cylinder to reflect the prototype accurately.
