HO 77' Pullman Chair Car SP Champaign #2904 Class 77-C-3 (ATHG-1549)

HO-scale Southern Pacific Champaign Pullman Chair Car, Class 77-C-3 (car 2904) is a detailed model for HO layouts, reproducing the SP’s 77-foot chair cars that ran on the Coast Daylight and other services. It features period-accurate styling and LED interior lighting to bring mid-century passenger rail to life on a layout.

Key refinements include full underbody detail, operating diaphragms, and McHenry scale knuckle-spring couplers, with the option for skirted or de-skirted bodies to match the prototype. Friction or roller bearing trucks reflect the prototype’s variations, and exterior and interior colors are road-number specific, with apricot or seafoam green walls and seats in dark rose, turquoise, or forest green. A 24-inch minimum radius ensures smooth operation on common HO curves. Built in 1937 by Pullman Standard, these Champaign chair cars began life in Coast Daylight service with a red, orange, and black scheme, later appearing in other liveries such as silver with a red band on trains like the Lark and Golden State, and remaining in general passenger service into the Amtrak era.
