Rapido ~ N Scale ~ 3/4 Dome Lounges w/Flat Sides ~ Southern Pacific #3604 ~ 575010

SP modelers have been raving about our HO models of Southern Pacific’s home-built dome-lounge cars while N scalers have been asking “What about N scale?!” We’ve listened! Rapido Trains is excited to announce the N Scale release of these iconic cars!

SP built one prototype and six production Dome Lounge cars between 1954 and 1955. All were built new in the railroad’s Sacramento General Shops, using select frame pieces from various retired Pullman-Standard pre-war “Daylight” cars. The Budd Company supplied the dome structure as a kit. Essentially, these cars were new construction using salvaged frame pieces for accounting purposes, and because SP’s foundry couldn’t roll a long enough center sill, and no one could supply one quickly enough.
