HO Heavyweight Clerestory Coach MILW #3352 (ATH88221)

HO Heavyweight Clerestory Coach MILW #3352 is a detailed HO-scale model of a classic heavyweight passenger car used by the Milwaukee Road. It’s designed to populate authentic-era rail scenes and features a separately applied brake wheel, six-wheel passenger car trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The car is weighted for smooth operation and arrives with an injection-molded, highly detailed body painted and printed for realistic decoration. A minimum radius of 18 inches is recommended for best tracking. When bought as part of the three-pack, the set includes an RPO, a Diner, and an Observation Car; the coach in the pack carries a different road number than the standalone car for realistic consist-building.

These heavyweight passenger cars trace their roots to Pullman designs from the early 20th century, where steel construction increased strength and reduced fire risk compared with earlier wooden cars. Even as newer designs emerged, heavyweight cars remained in service into the 1960s and 70s on secondary routes or maintenance-of-way duties, making them a historically appealing choice for model railroaders recreating classic Milwaukee Road scenes.
