Modeling one of Santa Fe's most unique cars is easy with the 85' Budd Big Dome Bar Lounge Dormitory! Tailor-made for enjoying trackside scenery, the glass-enclosed upper deck offered superb views for 57 passengers in coach seats, with 18 additional lounge seats. The lower level provided an additional small lounge area, along with dormitory space for 12 crewmen. Ready for operation or display, features of this WalthersProto replica include:
- Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
- Factory-installed grab irons
- Prototypically accurate window tinting
- Window gasket details as appropriate
- Sprung operating diaphragms
- Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
- Turned metal RP-25 wheelsets and correct trucks with built-in electrical contacts

PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
