HO RTR Arch Roof RPO Passenger Car IC #99 (ATH73032)

HO Scale Arch Roof RPO Passenger Car is a ready-to-run model that recreates the Harriman-era heavyweight passenger service, showcasing the distinctive arch-roof design used on North American trains from the 1920s to the 1940s. This HO model is built for HO layouts and pairs well with other arch-roof and RPO cars to form authentic era trains.

Details include stirrup steps, separate grab irons, window glazing, vestibule partitions, and a removable magnetically attached roof for easy interior access. The car is weighted for smooth operation, uses McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and can be equipped with either 2-axle or 3-axle trucks to match prototype variations. It rides on machined 33” RP25 wheels and features razor-sharp paint and printing, with mail-hook details on both sides for the Railway Post Office car. A multi-pack option includes a Combine, Diner, and Observation Car to complete a Harriman-era consists. The model measures about 8.5 inches in length and requires an 18-inch minimum radius curve for best operation, reflecting how the arch-roof design increased seating capacity and kept these cars in service into the postwar era.
