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.
Delivered new in 1949, the Pennsylvania’s Rapids Series sleepers offered overnight travelers a choice of 10 lower-priced roomettes, or more spacious surroundings in one of six double-bedrooms. Several could be found each day on The General and the Broadway Limited, and were still going strong in 1971 when Amtrak took over. Fully assembled and ready for service.
