Pullman Heavyweight 6-3 Sleeper

Milwaukee Road  

Nap Time!

While Pullman favored open section cars, travelers came to prefer private accommodations.

This led to the 6-3 all-room sleeper, with six compartments and three drawing rooms.

These cars were easily identified by the odd window arrangements on each side; one had 12 single windows spaced some distance apart, the other had paired windows placed close together.

Popular on long-distance trains, 203 of the cars were built as Pullman Plan #3523 (cars from Lot #6152/6341 are the prototype for this model) from 1923-26.

Air conditioning was added in the early 30s and some were still in service into the 1960s.

These fully assembled HO Scale cars feature scale dimensions and rivet details, factory-installed side door handrails, full detailed interiors, complete end, underbody and roof detail, scale set-back windows, working diaphragms, car name and number decals, correct trucks with RP-25 metal wheels for each car, factory-installed electrical pickups, removable roof with air conditioning ducts, working McHenry knuckle couplers and swinging drawbars to improve curve performance.

• Minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation
