Rapido HO Budd Slumbercoach: Amtrak - Phase 1: #2028 Loch Tarbet

Note: Pictures are representations, exact road numbers may not be shown.

Continuing Rapido’s tradition of highly detailed passenger cars, we are proud to introduce the all-new Budd Slumbercoach in HO scale!

In the mid 1950s, with passengers quickly switching to airline travel or the private automobile, the Budd company devised the Slumbercoach as an economical way to attract overnight passengers back to the rails. With a capacity of 40 passengers in a 24 single room plus 8 double room plan, the Slumbercoaches offered a lower cost alternative positioned between coach seating and a first class bedroom on overnight runs. A single aisle in the center of the car was flanked by the single and double rooms on each side.
