Strasburg Rail Road Paired Window Coach Kit — Ride the Rails Like It’s 1895
Step back into the golden age of American railroading with Paradise Car and Locomotive Shop’s HO scale Strasburg Rail Road Paired Window Coach Kit. Inspired by the finely crafted wood-sided coaches built by the Boston and Maine Railroad in the 1890s, this model captures the elegance and detail of a time when rail travel was more than transportation—it was an experience.
Built from rich mahogany and oak, the originals offered near First Class comfort simply through their craftsmanship. As steel heavyweight cars took over in the 1920s, these wooden coaches were reassigned to commuter duty, converted for railroad service, or retired altogether. Today, only a few survive—and several beautifully restored examples still roll through the Amish countryside on the Strasburg Rail Road, offering passengers a glimpse of how “great, great Grandpa traveled.”
Now, you can bring that legacy to life on your layout. Each kit includes:
• Scribed window sheets for authentic paired window styling
• Queen posts and truss rods for prototypical underbody detail
• End platform railings for added realism
• Ready for your choice of couplers and wheel trucks
Whether you’re building a turn-of-the-century consist or recreating a modern-day tourist line, this coach is a must-have for modelers who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and a touch of nostalgia.
