This is a Walthers 920-9360 HO C&O Pere Marquette 85′ PS RPO-Baggage Car. C&O Pere Marquette. C&O’s Pere Marquette had the distinction of being the first all-new American streamliner to enter service in 1946, running between Grand Rapids, and Detroit, Michigan. Based on its initial success, service was soon extended to Chicago. A variety of new Pullman-Standard cars were assigned in the 1950s, as the trains were kept fresh and modern to attract riders. Providing convenient service for business travelers and tourists, the trains also handled large volumes of mail into the 1960s. While the C&O had opted to join Amtrak, the Pere Marquette was one of many smaller trains that faded in history on May 1, 1971. Its key features are: Based on cars & locos in C&O 3-color scheme used 1954-1963 Real metal finish simulates stainless steel as appropriate per car Paint color-matched to original C&O color chips Factory-installed grab irons Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24 radius is recommended for operation.
