HO 77' Pullman Chair Car Southern Pacific General Service #2428 (ATHG-1546)
HO-scale Southern Pacific 77-foot Pullman Chair Car, General Service, Class 77-C-3, is a detailed HO model that recreates SP’s classic mid-century chair car used in general passenger service. Designed for HO layouts, it captures the era with road-number–specific color touches and authentic styling, giving layout owners a faithful centerpiece for recreating historic SP trains.
Inside and out, the model features more accurate seat, floor, and vestibule colors, with walls in apricot or seafoam green and seats in dark rose, turquoise, or forest green depending on road number. It includes constant interior LED lighting, full underbody detail, operating diaphragms, and McHenry scale knuckle-spring couplers, with a skirted or de-skirted body to match the prototype. Trucks reflect the prototype’s friction or roller-bearing arrangements, and the model is built for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 24 inches. Prototype background notes that 77-C-1 and 77-C-3 cars were built in 1937 by Pullman Standard for Southern Pacific, originally painted red, orange, and black for the Coast Daylight, later appearing on trains such as the Lark and Golden State, with some cars wearing the silver general-service scheme before Amtrak.
