ATLAS MASTER HO HEAVYWEIGHT COACHES
New Paint Schemes Available for Pre-Order in May 2016!
Coaches formed the backbone of the American passenger car fleet. These cars were used on long and short haul trains, through trains and
commuter runs alike.
The prototype for our single window model was built by Pullman, ACF
®
, Standard Steel and others for the New York Central System. The
prototype for our paired window model was built for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Cars of similar designs were built for many other
railroads from coast to coast, and they served many years in a wide variety of services.
