FAQ
What is the "Ship & Travel" scheme?
"Ship & Travel Union Pacific" was a UP advertising slogan applied as a large billboard lettering on freight equipment in the mid-20th century, promoting both UP's freight and passenger services.
Will it couple to my Atlas / Walthers / Athearn cars?
Yes — the metal knuckle couplers are Kadee-compatible and work with virtually any modern HO knuckle coupler.
Does it have metal wheels?
Yes. Metal wheels and roller-bearing trucks come standard, so it rolls smoothly and works with most track-detection systems out of the box.
Is this sold as a single car or in a set?
