N scale SP Suburban Coach 72-IC-1/2/3 Resin Kit

Southern Pacific Harriman era Passenger Equipment
A cornerstone of Southern Pacific passenger operations from the early 20th century through the transition era, SP’s iconic Harriman cars handled baggage, mail, express service, and passengers across nearly every division of the railroad. From heavyweight mainline trains to secondary locals, these cars were as common as they were hardworking.
This N scale kit series faithfully recreates three closely related—but operationally distinct—Southern Pacific prototypes, all sharing the iconic 60-foot Harriman-era steel carbody while differing in doors, windows, interior purpose, and service life.

Bookmark this listing as we will be expanding the product line over time including a number of 60 and 70’ passenger equipment.
