HO Heavyweight Clerestory Coach, CPR #1310 (ATH88219)

An HO-scale Heavyweight Clerestory Coach in CPR livery (road number 1310) is a detailed representation of a classic steel-bodied passenger car from the early 20th century. It’s designed to bring authentic vintage passenger-train scenes to HO layouts, with the distinctive clerestory roof and period-accurate detailing that helps recreate era-specific operation and atmosphere.

Key features include separately applied brake wheel, six-wheel passenger car trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted body for stable tracking. The model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and is fully painted and printed for realistic decoration. It runs on HO layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius and is often sold as part of a 3-pack with an RPO, Diner, and Observation Car—the coach in the set carries a different road number than the single. Historically, heavyweight coaches were introduced by Pullman in 1907 and built in steel to increase strength and reduce fire risk, with many remaining in service into the 1960s and 70s, making this model a faithful nod to that era.
