RS – Rio Grande Sleeper Pair

Arriving January 2025
Description
The Denver Rio Grande & Western had very few streamline sleepers.
The color scheme, known as ‘Grande Gold’ was introduced in 1949. In later years, a simplified single (black) stripe version was used.
This selection is for two fluted Pullman sleepers, the Glenwood Springs and the Colorado Springs in the four stripe scheme.
A limited production, these are classic versions of Rio Grande sleepers. Prototype Pullman sleepers used on the D&RGW had fluting below the windows and were smooth above the windows. Cars of this style could be a future project of ours, but these ‘Springs Series’ cars will be stand-ins until then.
We have chosen ‘Springs’ as it is in the character of how railroads usually named cars for geographical locations along the line. But being clear, these are not prototype cars, and we are sure you will enjoy them anyway!

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!

Just a quick note to acknowledge receipt of my AFT Tool Car. Thanks so much for another Outstanding Piece of Craftsmanship! The AFT is my most prized “N” Scale collection. I had perceived that there were delays in getting this last car into our hands, but thought it was a problem with China. Your letter…

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production. Â They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

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!
