Walthers Proto HO Scale: 85' Budd Hi-Level Diner - ATSF
Serve up something special for your combined Super Chief / El Capitan with this WalthersProto replica of the 85' Budd Hi-Level Diner! With the kitchen facilities on the lower level, up to 80 guests (more than twice the capacity of a standard diner) were able to "dine penthouse-style" in the upper seating area. Tipping the scales at a massive 97 tons, the cars rode on heavy-duty six-wheel trucks. Ready for operation or display, features of this WalthersProto replica include:
Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
Factory-installed grab irons
Prototypically accurate window tinting
Window gasket details as appropriate
Sprung operating diaphragms
Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
Turned metal RP-25 wheelsets and correct trucks with built-in electrical contacts
Proto MAX(TM) 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.
