Model Railroading > What is a PRR S Bedroom Buffet Lounge Observation by WalthersDate: 07/21/21 09:33 What is a PRR S Bedroom Buffet Lounge Observation by Walthers Author: BuddPullman Walthers is accepting reservation for new PRR passenger cars. A couple look like "View" series cars but described as the following:
"WalthersProtoPart # 920-1576085' Pullman-Standard S Bedroom-Buffet-Lounge-Observation - LED Lighting -- Pennsylvania Railroad View Series w/Standard Tail Sign" I have never heard of a S Bedroom? I have heard of S type sleepers, like an L&N 6-4-6. Any clues? Thanks!

Uncle Joe Date: 07/21/21 10:03 Re: What is a PRR S Bedroom Buffet Lounge Observation by Walthers Author: BuddPullman Thanks Joe. If you look closely, they are doing two types of PRR Observations. The Cafe Lounge Obs (i.e. PRR 1132) plus, the mystery Bedroom Observation. My copied text above, in quotes, is from the Walthers website which includes the word "Bedroom". I have reached out to them and I'm waiting for a response. When I hear back I will advise.

A stainless steel PRR 10-6 "County" series sleeper, a PC 10-6 and an N&W 10-6, etc.

Date: 07/21/21 12:50 Re: What is a PRR S Bedroom Buffet Lounge Observation by Walthers Author: BrynMawr PRR 1132 is one of 5 cars delivered by ACF in 1948 described as blunt end 53 seat lounge.
The 'mystery' car might well be the non B'way blunt end sleeper obs lounges built for other trains. Plan 4134, Lot 6792 P-S similar to the View cars, but no Master Rooms. Have to smile about The General. Th one I rode in 1965 had 'corridor' coaches w/ advertising posters on the bulkheads. Not exactly luxurious for sleeping from Chicago to North Philadelphia.

The General will have the POC85ar Buffet-Lounge Observation is the car that is PRR built and does not have any sleeper accommodations.
