New HO scale factory painted and assembled model of an 85' Pullman Standard Buffet-Lounge-Observation Car with large tail sign (standard edition). Factory installed grab irons. Painted tuscan red and black with gold stripes and lettering. Large tail sign on the blunt rear end.
Regularly assigned to The General and other Pennsylvania Railroad streamliners, these cars featured a small kitchen and dining area for 16 passengers, a lounge area for 27 and a traditional observation area that could set 10 patrons. Unlike most trains however, this car was handled at the front of The General, and faced backward for the entire trip east or west, serving as a buffer between coaches and head-end traffic.
