Description

The New York Central had dining cars from Budd, AF&C & Pullman that were used in general service throughout the NYC System. In later years, these cars replaced the twin-unit diners on many trains.

Originally delivered in the all silver scheme, our version is the later of the distinctive dark gray lettering boards with the NYC lettering in the light gray.

This RailSmith fluted diner will be a stand in, and a very good one we think, for a NYC fluted diner.

RailSmith is happy to bring another never-before-produced car to N Scale.

We will call this, a classic version of this car, and we know that ‘Central’ fans will be glad to get a car they thought they would never see!

For more information, talk to our friends at the NYC Historical Society.

I just wanted you to know my O gauge Hood River Pears car came yesterday in perfect condition. This car is just beautiful I can’t wait for the next one to come out. Keep up the good work.

That car is about the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in N scale!  Excellent work!

Aside from the quality, creativity and originality, you are to be commended for your ongoing commitment to this (GAC) series, and all of your series of trains over a period of so many years.  There is always something to look forward to. Keep up the great work!’ D. K.

What a trip! We had a great time- exceeded our expectations by a mile. The Silver Lariat was simply stunning. A gem on the rails. The scenery and weather were perfect. The delays were not an issue for us at all. All just a good days work on the railroad! Thank you for all the…

To say the least this is a HUGE development for N-scale and I, along with a number of others, are indebted to you for making these cars possible. Thanks so very much!!!
