The HO Scale Bachmann 43-1022-05 Amtrak 85' Budd Coach Passenger #21917 is a ready-to-go plastic passenger car with a scale of 1:87. It features interior lighting that has been tested and works, along with plastic trucks with metal wheels. This factory-painted coach car comes in the original box and is in excellent condition, making it a desirable addition to any HO scale model railroad collection. The Bachmann brand is known for producing high-quality model trains, and this passenger car is no exception.
This passenger car arrived intact for the most part. Only problems to note at first was a sagging chassis and sounds of something loose on the inside of it. Upon removing the shell, I discovered the two screws holding in the molding of the passenger seats inside (and some of the electrical apparatus) had come completely out, and the plastic sockets to hold them in were obliterated. I suspect this is the result of a factory error since the car was unused. I glued the screws back in where I think they went, and shaved the sides off two k-nex rods to use as bracing to keep the chassis from sagging. Other than the slight repairs I had to implement, the car is a smooth roller, runs great and behaves well with my other amfleets, and still lights up. It looks great on my Amtrak National Limited set. I'd give it a 5/2 out of 10.
