HO Streamline Diner Car, NS "Kentucky" #19
This HO scale streamlined diner car is one of the model train passenger cars built to recreate the streamliner trains that carried long-distance travelers across North America from the 1930s through the 1960s. Streamliners were known for extra comfort, including stewardess service, observation lounges, and reserved coach seating.
Background
After World War II, U.S. railroads sought to modernize their passenger fleets and chose individual streamlined cars for their flexibility. The design traced its roots to the Pioneer Zephyr. Pullman cars featured smooth body surfaces, while cars from other builders showed the typical ribbed body surface. Three railcar manufacturers, the Budd Company, Pullman Standard, and ACF, produced these cars.
