Description: Walthers O scale/gauge 70-foot executive business observation passenger car kit, no. 933J9108. New, everything still sealed in manufacturer's original plastic bags.

Wood and die cast underbody and roof detail parts. Metal platform railings. Printed paper valance for platform roof edge. Clear plastic strips for window glazing. Decals for car lettering. Assemble instructions. No trucks or couplers. Although executive business cars looked like observation cars, had an open observation platform, and rode at the ends of trains, they did not carry fare-paying passengers, They were for the exclusive use of railroad headquarters brass and district superintendents for traveling on and inspecting the railroad, meeting with subordinates and entertaining customers. The cars usually were slightly shorter than a full-size observation car -- 70 feet long rather than 80 feet or so. Build one for yourself. As the brass of your railroad, you deserve your own private car. Detail the interior to a prototype or your own plan. Bring it along when you visit other model railroaders' layouts and railroad clubs. An interesting addition to your modeling and operating enjoyment. The Canadian National and Pennsylvania RR, among many others, ad executive observation business cars like this and of this length, I believe.
