N-Scale Engines Budd Rail Diesel Car - RDC-1 (Coach) - Powered New Haven Commonly known as the "RDC," the motorized Rail Diesel Car generally operated in rural areas where ridership and mail/parcel transport were too low for regular passenger train service. When first introduced, the RDC was proclaimed to be the savior of branch line and suburban service. It was heavily used as a commuter service workhorse (and still is currently in some locations!). Capable of being operated by a motorman from either end of the car, these units could be used independently or combined into a multi-unit. There are four types of RDC, each with a noticably different car body. The RDC-1 is a Passenger-only RDC with 90 passenger capacity, the RDC-2 is a Passenger/Baggage car with seating for 70 passengers, the RDC-3 is a Passenger/Baggage/RPO car with seating for 49 and a baggage and post office compartment. The RDC-4 was an RPO only car, shorter than other RDCs by 20 feet.
