Its exclusive clientele demanded -- and received -- the very best, from equipment to impeccable service. Flagship of a Blue Ribbon fleet of luxury streamliners, the Broadway was the ultimate blend of luxury and speed. Based on cars used between 1953 and 1968, and re-created in exacting HO Scale, Walthers seventh complete name train captures the magic of the Broadway at its very best. ************************************ Introduced in 1912, the Broadway Limited offered superb luxury and service between Chicago and the heart of New York City. Flagship of the Pennsylvania Railroad's passenger service, it quickly developed a fierce and loyal following. Always accorded the finest, the train was streamlined in 1938, and refitted in 1949. Just 10 years later, the Broadway became America's last all-Pullman streamliner following archrival New York Central's merger of the 20th Century Limited with the combined Pacemaker/Commodore Vanderbilt. Pennsy continued the grand traditions of the Broadway and there was a brief increase in revenue. But as the Pennsylvania faced mounting financial problems, even its best train was expendable, and the Broadway made its last run on December 13, 1967. The train soldiered on briefly for Penn Central until 1971 when Amtrak took over, running its own version of the Broadway through September 1995. The complete consist includes nine cars and matching PROTO 2000 E8 diesels, all with the finest detail you expect from Walthers, the name train experts. Walthers newest name train makes it easy to model these great streamliners in HO and includes: As most of the cars were used on other Pennsylvania trains, modelers and collectors will be able to mix and match most of these cars as a starting point for modeling other trains from the Blue Ribbon Fleet Locomotives will be the last in the series available in the fall of 2011 All HO Models Include: * All Grab Irons Factory-Installed & Painted * Prototypically Accurate Window Tinting * Based on Equipment in Broadway Service 1953-68 * Correct PRR 41-NP-11 Trucks on Budd & ACF Cars * Authentic Paint, Lettering & Striping * Car Name & Number Decals as Appropriate * Superb Detail Inside & Out * Proto MAX Metal Knuckle Couplers * Correct Trucks with RP-25 Metal Wheels 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.
