9735 B&O 80' Passenger Coach, Blue & Gray, HO Scale

In the golden age of rail travel, coach cars formed the core of nearly every passenger train. Designed to seat dozens of travelers in comfort, these cars provided essential, affordable transportation for the general public—connecting cities, towns, and rural communities across the country. Coach cars typically featured rows of reclining seats, ample windows, and basic onboard amenities. In a typical consist, they were positioned between a combine—which handled baggage and overflow seating—and higher-end accommodations like sleepers or a business car at the rear. Whether on a short regional run or a long-distance journey, the coach car was the workhorse of passenger service and a symbol of the railroad's public-facing mission.

Broadway Limited’s HO scale coach model reproduces the early-version PRR P70 with clerestory roof and heavyweight construction. This release includes five prototypical paint schemes based on similar heavyweight coaches from other railroads, along with one festive holiday-themed version. Each car features finely rendered details, accurate colors and lettering, and is equipped with standard Pullman 2411 trucks.
