HO Scale brass articulated 54-seat chair car pair from The Coach Yard, representing two Union Pacific "City of Los Angeles" streamliner cars - "Las Vegas" and "Salt Lake" from 1941. The Coach Yard specialized in producing limited-run brass models of unique and prototype-specific passenger equipment, with particular attention to accurately capturing regional railroad characteristics.
The "Las Vegas" and "Salt Lake" were articulated 54-seat chair cars serving on Union Pacific's famous City of Los Angeles streamliner, which provided luxury service between Chicago and Los Angeles via Omaha and Ogden. The articulated design, where cars share trucks between them, was a signature feature of streamlined trains, reducing weight and creating a smooth, unified appearance. The City of Los Angeles was one of UP's most prestigious trains, jointly operated with Chicago & North Western, featuring the railroad's iconic Armour Yellow and gray paint scheme. The car names celebrated major cities along the route through Nevada and Utah. The 1941 date represents the final year of peacetime streamliner construction before World War II.
This articulated pair features the specialized construction and prototype-specific detailing that made Coach Yard models highly sought after by collectors focusing on accurately modeling specific railroad operations and famous named trains.
Packaging: Complete with original Coach Yard box and contents.
