Walthers Proto HO Amtrak Phase VII #62041 Middle River 85′ Budd Viewliner Sleeper – Lighted

The prototype Viewliner Sleepers were designed in the late 80s to replace aging heritage equipment. These new cars were designed as a single level car primarily for eastern routes due to tunnel clearance issues. Production units were built by Amerail/Morrison-Knudsen and entered service in 1995. The cars feature roomettes, bedrooms and an accessible bedroom with space for a wheelchair or mobility device. Still in service today, they’re easily spotted by their double row of windows.
Our latest run of these cars features a realistic plated finish on the car body with accurate Amtrak paint schemes and graphics officially licensed by Amtrak. Available with factory-installed LED interior lighting, the models feature:

• Improved tooling

• GSI metal truck for electrical pickup
• Factory-installed wire grab irons

• Correct 36 scale inch RP-25 turned metal wheels
