For railroad operators, these cars are also cost-effective, utilizing existing frames and trucks from freight cars. This model represents one of the open-sided cars used on the historic East Broad Top Railroad in central Pennsylvania. Operating as a tourist railroad since ceasing service as a common carrier in 1956, the East Broad Top is one of the most complete historic railroad operations in the United States and has been described as an irreplaceable national treasure by the Smithsonian Institution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures Include\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Open-air” scenic railroad design, based on homemade new construction and converted freight cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed, painted bodies with precision graphics (where applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull interior with detailed roof underside, simulated wood flooring, and bench seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied railroad herald\/car name signboards, per roadname\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied handrails, brake wheel, and stirrups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully detailed underbody with separately applied truss rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetically operated E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed trucks with see-through sideframes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackened metal wheels with RP25 contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Measurements: L 6.5 in., W 1.5 in., H 1.5 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetail Package Measurements: L 7.5 in., W 1.7 in., H 3.4 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 17401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 022899174013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: HO 1:87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Product is Recommended for Ages 14 \u0026amp; Up.\u003cdiv class=\"col_full nobottommargin\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"features\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BACHMANN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46119464534229,"sku":"BAC17401","price":44.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/7381\/6480\/files\/50092a0837ffff319ebbaf24c7377a4953a292a7.jpg?v=1772691297","url":"https:\/\/www.htdirect.com.au\/products\/bachmann-east-broad-top-168","provider":"HTDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
