Over 28 months, it traveled 65,000 miles, stopped in 181 cities, and was seen by 5.7 million visitors and 20 million more along its route. Following its massively successful tour, the train was sold to the Union Pacific. The UP put the train into service between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington as part of trains 457\/458 informally known as the “City of Seattle.” The cars continued in this service until they were retired between 1961 and 1965. Three of the cars were scrapped, but the observation car “Moon Glow” (now converted for mid-train service) somehow survived. It remains today at the Utah State Railroad Museum in an unrestored condition. Rapido is thrilled to announce the release of the complete four-car “Train of Tomorrow” in HO scale. Designed from the original Pullman blueprints, our model features all four passenger cars of the prototype train:\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e     \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003eDome coach “Star Dust”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003eDome Sleeper “Dream Cloud”\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003eDome Diner “Sky View” \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003eDome Lounge\/Observation “Moon Glow”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEach passenger car features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Designed from original blueprints\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Detailed interiors • Accurate paint and lettering\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Full lighting\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e• Complete underbody detailing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Operating diaphragms with end gates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Rapido’s renowned stainless steel finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Separate grab irons • Track-powered constant lighting for DC and DCC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Free-rolling 41-BNO-11 trucks with blackened metal wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• 22” minimum radius (18” radius with modification)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe set also includes the train’s unique EMD E7 locomotive featuring a smooth and powerful drive system, accurate decoration including the unique add-on panels applied for the “Train of Tomorrow” tour, and full lighting effects and accurate ESU sounds (on DC\/DCC sound-equipped models).
