Product Information:
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.

All-new tooling, first time in plastic
One-time run of car numbers on factory-printed cars - order now, limited quantity available
