This is an HO-scale replica of a Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC). Each HO-scale model is 1/87th of the full-size prototype. The model represents an eighty-five-foot RDC-3. This style of car contained a fifteen-foot Railway Post Office apartment, a baggage compartment that also may have carried Railway Express, and forty-four passenger seats.
