Sale Name: Merle VanSteenwyck Brass Train Estate Collection
LOT 517 - ORIENTAL LIMITED 800 HO BRASS BAGGAGE BUFFET LOUNGE PASSENGER CAR
Description

HO Scale brass passenger car from Oriental Limited, featuring a baggage buffet lounge combination car. Manufactured in Japan or Korea by premier builders such as Kumata or Daeki. Oriental Limited was known for producing quality brass models with exceptional attention to detail and prototype accuracy.

The baggage buffet lounge was a versatile passenger car configuration that combined multiple functions in a single car - baggage storage space for mail and express, buffet service for light meals and refreshments, and comfortable lounge seating for passengers. These multi-purpose cars were commonly used on secondary passenger trains and branch line services where dedicated cars for each function would not be economical.

Oriental Limited models are renowned for their fine craftsmanship and accurate representation of prototype features, including proper window arrangements, detailed underframes, and authentic proportions that capture the essence of classic American passenger car design.
