HO Pullman Common Standard Baggage Car WP #137/140 (ATH-2646)

HO-scale Western Pacific 60-foot Pullman Common Standard Baggage Car is a detailed reproduction of the era’s baggage car designed to haul passengers’ luggage, trunks, and parcels on long-distance trains. It reflects the Common Standard design that helped standardize equipment across lines, offering a realistic glimpse into how baggage service fit into early railroading.

The model captures authentic detailing such as arched roof panels with simulated rivets, Pintsch gas vents, roof vents, a stove smokestack, and drip strips over doors. It presents prototype choices like wooden or ply-metal doors and underframe variants (as-built with toolbox and gas tanks or modernized with a battery box), along with end diaphragms, stirrup steps, brake gear, air tank, McHenry knuckle-spring couplers, window glazing, and interior detailing. Weighted for smooth operation, it’s intended to run on layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius for best results.
