Product Information:
Rapido is pleased to announce the newest release in our New Haven stainless steel passenger car series: The HO Scale 14-4 “Point” Sleeping Car. As with other cars in this series, these cars are being developed in association with The New Haven Railroad Historical and Technical Association (NHRHTA). Watch the launch video above or by clicking here. Then we can go over some of the history and more.
The “Point”-series sleepers were the New Haven Railroad’s post-war luxury flagships for overnight travel and could be found on trains across the nation. Built by Pullman-Standard beginning in December 1949, these 27 cars had 14 Roomettes and 4 Bedrooms and were named after projecting pieces of land along the southern New England coastline.
