Over 28 months, it traveled 65,000 miles, stopped in 181 cities, and was seen by 5.7 million visitors and 20 million more along its route. Following its massively successful tour, the train was sold to the Union Pacific. The UP put the train into service between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington as part of trains 458\/459 informally known as the \"City of Seattle.\" The cars continued in this service until they were retired between 1961 and 1965. Three of the cars were scrapped, but the observation car “Moon Glow” (now converted for mid-train service) somehow survived. It remains today at the Utah State Railroad Museum in an unrestored condition. Rapido is thrilled to announce the release of the complete four-car “Train of Tomorrow” in HO scale. Designed from the original Pullman blueprints, our model features all four passenger cars of the prototype train: Dome coach “Star Dust” Dome Sleeper “Dream Cloud” Dome Diner “Sky View” Dome Lounge\/Observation “Moon Glow” Each passenger car features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigned from original blueprints\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed interiors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccurate paint and lettering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull lighting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplete underbody detailing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperating diaphragms with end gates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRapido’s renowned stainless steel finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeparate grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrack-powered constant lighting for DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree-rolling 41-BNO-11 trucks with blackened metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e22” minimum radius (18” radius with modification)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e The set also includes the trains’ unique EMD E7 locomotive.
