HO Budd Slumbercoach New York Central Model (RPI141022)

The HO Budd Slumbercoach in New York Central livery is a striking model that reflects the elegance of mid-20th century rail travel. Designed from original blueprints, this model captures the distinctive staggered windows and sleek contours of the actual Slumbercoaches used in the 1950s.

With a capacity to accommodate 40 passengers across single and double rooms, this model mirrors the functionality of the original cars that aimed to provide a more economical overnight travel option. Each unit features full multi-color interior details, including roomette doors, and constant track-powered interior lighting suitable for both DC and DCC operations, enhancing realism on the tracks.

The underbody detail of the model showcases an array of parts with exceptional accuracy, including pipes and conduits, along with etched-metal end gates and sprung diaphragms. Precision-engineered GSC 41-NDO-11 trucks with disc brake detail add to its authenticity. The model is finished with Rapido’s renowned stainless-steel finish, and it offers various paint schemes, enabling customization for enthusiasts seeking to personalize their collection.
