Model a unique and historically significant car from the ‘Chessie’ era with our #9674-017 C&O Budd Fluted Side Kitchen Lunch Counter Crew parts. Delivered to the Chesapeake & Ohio in August 1948, these three cars were designed as sister units to the full-length diners for the ill-fated ‘Chessie’ streamliner. Although the train never ran as intended, these cars had a long and varied career, serving the Atlantic Coast Line and eventually the original Auto Train. Our precision-engineered parts capture the iconic Budd fluted side design and the specific window and door arrangements of these specialized kitchen-crew cars. Designed for high accuracy and a perfect fit, these components allow you to recreate these fascinating cars throughout their various service eras with exceptional detail. Ideal for C&O, ACL, and Auto Train enthusiasts.
