This HO scale model of a New York Central full-length Railway Post Office (RPO) car is notable because it depicts a center-case floor arrangement. HO-scale stands for Half-O gauge. Each HO-scale model is 1/87th of the full-size prototype. The model is a Walthers kit without detailing. For example, there are no bars over windows, catcher arms or safety rods in doorways, and cinder guards are not mounted.
