Description

Baggage 5014 was one of 2 cars that were 72 feet long, in this series built by American Car & Foundry in 1946-47 for the NYC.

Railway Post Office cars were used all across the New York Central system.

This silver car has the destictive dark gray lettering boards with the NYC lettering in the light gray. (A scheme I am very fond of.)

David Randall’s book is great documentation of these cars, and shows photos of these two cars with smooth sides.  We are producing this car, in this scheme, with fluted sides.  With so many other cars to build, a fluted Budd RPO is NOT on our list. So this RailSmith 72 foot fluted RPO will be a stand in, and a very good one, for the NYC RPO.

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

We will call this,  a classic version of this car.

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

Wow… You made my dream come true with the CK Holiday! I am a great admirer of your work.

G.D.

Lowell, thanks to you and your company SP&S modelers (myself included) are having a much easier time modeling the North Bank Road. Thank you for your hard work!

R. K.

You are in my book one of the very best.

I am looking forward to many more releases in the new year. I stayed up really late on Christmas to talk to Santa when he came by our house. I asked him for an n-scale SP&S 700, and he said that was out of his league and I’d better call you.

Thanks, Lowell, for another awesome addition to an already incredible train.

D.K.

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.

And as for your goal of 5 releases a year, I admire your ambition, but I won’t hold it against you if you fall short on that accomplishment.  I’m just thrilled you’re doing such an AWESOME job of releasing this amazing train, and hope you don’t stop until it’s all done!

Linda and Pete B.

Just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be with you and the many other happy folks who experienced the Feather River Canyon trip.  I know you put a lot of work into making this special trip a reality and it all came together extremely well!

G.P.

I just received the “The Great Locomotive Chase” set from the Walt Disney Family Museum. Very nicely done!

K.

My kids absolutely love the Christmas cars! The C.K. Holiday, along with the Carolwood and Disney cars makes a wonderful Christmas train. It made many a loop under our tree this year.
