Walthers Proto - HO Scale - Union Pacific Passenger Cars Heritage Series - Standard Version - 85' American Car & Foundry 48-Seat Diner - Union Pacific (UP) "Overland" - #5105 - Yellow/Grey with Red Lettering (SKU 920-18101)
Available On: September 1, 2023
A key part of Union Pacific's public relations programs, 48 historic passenger cars and three E9 diesels make up part of the famed Heritage Fleet. Many were originally purchased for the City Streamliners, and have been carefully restored and updated to full operating condition. Today, they're finished in a modern Armour Yellow scheme, and the cars carry names of important cities, famous trains and key people in the railroad's long history. In service, these rolling goodwill ambassadors travel system-wide and beyond, behind UP's restored steam and diesel locos, to attend a wide range of public and special events every year.
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.
Built in 1959 as a Lunch Counter-Cafe-Lounge, car #5105 was retained for special service through 1987. At that time it was remodeled as Diner-Lounge UPP #302, and named "Overland" in 1988 to commemorate the "Overland Flyer" passenger train of the 1890s.
