Description

Presenting a ‘Blunt End Sleeper’ for the Golden State!

Presenting the SP observation ‘Golden Dawn’  in silver & red.

Southern Pacific had a total of nine blunt-end observations. The paint scheme of these for the assigned trains, would evolve over time. This scheme is the original Golden State livery.

Both the Rock Island and the Southern Pacific shared duties and contributed car for this Chicago to Los Angeles train. The Rock Island Observations were fluted and with the rounded (boat) end.

This car Golden Dawn, was one of the two SP cars assigned to the Golden State.

This is all according our good friends at the Southern Pacific Historical & Technical Society.

RailSmith Blunt End Observation features: accurate newly tooled end detail including operating rear light, photo etched door safety bar, period and car accurate drumhead (not lit), as well as Micro-Trains True Scale Coupler on the rear of the car.

Production costs seem to be volatile these days and we expect that the retail price of these cars will increase at or before delivery, so please reserve your car today for your best pricing.

This is a Prototype car and will only be produced one time.

Every aspect of the trip was professionally done.  You and Barbara were on top of every change and your matter-of-fact assurances speak highly of your professionalism.  Jo Ann is a retired chef  and we know what good food is, and the meals provided on the CZ trip were stellar! BRAVO to you and Barbara for…

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.

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!

Thank you ever so much for being such an integral part of the model railroading hobby!
