The 20th Century Limited ran between New York and Chicago from 1902 until December 1967 and was re-equipped and streamlined on 15 June 1938 in the livery reproduced here. Two points of accuracy worth knowing: the 1938 Century was an all-Pullman train, so a coach in this scheme is a fleet-matching companion rather than a car that ran in the consist, and Bachmann's tooling follows an ACF design while the Century's cars were built by Pullman-Standard. Country of manufacture is not stated by Bachmann and is listed as China by convention; the weight shown is Bachmann's published shipping weight.
