Description

Model the Pennsylvania Railroad's iconic commuter fleet in HO scale with this highly detailed MuP-54 Coach from Con-Cor International. Road number 430 is lettered in PRR's classic Futura scheme — Tuscan Red with a black roof — capturing the look of the cars that served the Northeast Corridor through the mid-20th century.

The Pennsylvania Railroad began building P-54 commuter cars around 1908, continuing into the 1930s. When PRR electrified the Northeast Corridor beginning in 1915, these cars were upgraded into Multiple Unit (MU) electric operation as the MuP-54 fleet. The Futura lettering scheme — named for the clean sans-serif typeface PRR adopted in the postwar era — replaced the earlier Keystone herald scheme and represents the cars in their later service years. Many survived into the Penn Central and SEPTA eras of the early 1970s. The car's distinctive end "porthole" windows are faithfully reproduced on this model.

Con-Cor's HO scale model is built from the 65-foot prototype and runs easily on 18-inch radius curves — no need for the 24–26-inch minimum required by full 85-foot passenger cars from other manufacturers.
