Old Time Coach Car - Union Pacific® #29 Model: 13454 UPC: 022899134543 Scale: N 1:160 Recommended Age 14+ In the late 1800s, railroads were spreading fast across North America. Trips that took days by stagecoach could now be completed in a few hours with far more relative comfort. Coach Cars were designed exclusively for passengers, while Baggage Cars were configured for transporting goods and mail. Other cars known as "Combines" were built to transport both passengers and cargo. In the early 20th century, steel "Heavyweight" cars became standard, and most wood-sided cars were withdrawn. However, examples of these early passenger cars can still be found operating on excursion railroads across North America, inspiring tourists with the romance of travel in the Old West. Bachmann is pleased to announce the return of our N Scale Old-Time Passenger Cars. In addition to upgraded Coach and Combine cars in new schemes, we're introducing an all-new Baggage car to complete your consist - featuring body-mounted E-Z Mate® Mark Il knuckle couplers. Features Include 19th-century design, perfect for early railroading and "Wild West" eras Separately applied end platform handrails and truss rods underneath the car Magnetically operated body-mounted E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers Blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours
