Description
Railroad Short Name: PRR
With its mix of head-end traffic, long-distance coaches and luxurious Pullman sleepers, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s “The General” was one of its most popular Blue Ribbon streamliners into the 1960s.
Fully assembled, ready for operation or display, these limited edition HO consists feature unique car names and numbers available only in these sets, along with factory-installed LED interior lighting as appropriate and 130 Preiser figures throughout the train.
To provide faster service to dining car patrons, the Pennsylvania was one of several railroads to operate paired kitchen and dining cars on signature trains including The General and the Broadway Limited. The fully-enclosed kitchen was a model of modern efficiency, equipped with the latest in electric appliances, and the envy of many fine restaurants! Sleeping space was provided in the car for the kitchen crew and stewards, eliminating stops and expensive crew changes en route.
