Pennsylvania Class B60B Baggage Car 

 Pennsylvania - 

Messenger Car (Tuscan, black, gold - Porthole Window Doors)

Out-Of-Production 

DISCONTINUED By the Manufacturer

Easy Upgrade for Express Service

From 1925 to the late 1960s, B60b baggage cars could be found on the head-end of many trains. While it was a distinctly Pennsy design, the cars were part of the Railway Express Agency pool and were frequent visitors on railroads all over America, moving bulk mail and express shipments. Some were equipped as messenger cars, with facilities for a rider to accompany a shipment in transit, and were identified by a 6" gold star above the car number.

 

These models are a quick and easy way to add color to passenger trains from your favorite era, and the smaller length of just 60' is ideal for any size layout. Models include the correct balloon-style roof, detailed body, correct trucks, and come with or without rooftop vents as per the prototype.

Build Your Head-End Fleet with Baggage-Express Cars

Mail and express shipments were big moneymakers for railroads. 

Several head-end cars like these often operated on each train - especially on all-stops secondary trains. 

On your layout, they'll add a new dimension of operations because baggage cars were switched at major terminals.

SHIPPING:

 We do combine shipping on multiple purchases.  If you do a Buy It Now the transaction requires immediate payment for each item separately. 

What you need to do is put it in the shopping cart and then when you go to checkout it will recalculate the shipping and combine the items for you. 

If you pay first I am unable to make any adjustment because ebay has then taken its fees on the shipping as well.  If you have a concern message me and I can work something out for you.
