NEW! Rapido 114030 Santa Fe (AT&SF) ~ Budd Baggage-Dorm #3405 HO Scale

   Following the success of our Superior Stainless Budd Mid-Train Dome, it is our pleasure to announce the HO scale Superior Stainless Budd Baggage Dorm! Pullman-Standard may have been America’s largest railroad car manufacturer, but Budd was without a doubt the most stylish. And Rapido’s new Baggage Dorm reflects that style.

   Baggage Dormitory cars were used on many trains throughout North America, providing baggage/express service along with sleeping quarters for the on-board service crew. In later years, many of these cars lost their bunks and were converted to full baggage cars. Our model is based on the Canadian Pacific prototype built by Budd in 1954/55. Many railroads operated similar cars.

   Like our RDC, our Superior Stainless Budd passenger cars are without a doubt the most detailed Budd passenger car models ever produced.

Each Baggage Dorm includes: 

• Realistic stainless steel finish
• Track-powered interior lighting compatible with DC and DCC layout
• Full underbody detail including separate air, steam and electrical lines
• Separate metal grab irons, stirrups and end gates
• Accurate D22 brake equipment and piping
• Super-detailed 41-NDO-11 trucks with end frames
• Full, multi-color interior detail
• Sprung diaphragms
• Metal Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers
