Bachmann 19904 HO Scale American Freedom Train 72' Exhibit Car #104

This HO scale model recreates American Freedom Train display car #104 from the traveling museum train that crossed the country for the United States Bicentennial in 1975 and 1976. The prototype was converted from New York Central baggage car #9115 and presented artifacts from the many communities that built the country, including European, Native, African, Hispanic and Asian American heritage. Car #104 carries the artwork panels for the 1836-1846 and 1846-1856 decades. Bachmann reproduces the car's backlit shadow boxes and artwork panels, printed courtesy of FreedomTrain.org, over the train's white, red and blue livery. The model has a detailed painted body with precision graphics, detailed trucks with see-through sideframes, blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours and added weight for optimum tracking, and it is fitted with kinematic magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II knuckle couplers for operation on tighter radius curves. The car measures 11.5" long.
