GUARANTEED DELIVERY

The New Haven decided to modernize its fleet with new lightweight passenger cars. In December 1945 a large order was placed with Pullman-Standard for a variety of car styles, including 103 coaches. These were produced in the old Osgood Bradley factory in Worcester, MA, so they bear more than a passing resemblance to the Osgood Bradley Lightweights delivered in the 1930s. They are the perfect partner for the FL9.

The New Haven touted the 8600s as "the newest of the new in coach equipment - gleaming stainless steel on the outside, the last word in attractive decoration and design on the inside." The 8600-series coaches were ubiquitous, used on trains system-wide from delivery until the Penn Central years. Around three quarters of the coaches were later sold to MBTA and they remained in service in the Boston area until 1988! N scale Northeastern modellers have waited far too long for accurate models of these iconic cars. The wait will soon be over.
