Product Overview:

All 42 Manor Sleepers were delivered to Canadian Pacific in 1954 and 1955. They were named after prominent figures in English Canadian history. The Manor Sleepers were transferred to VIA Rail Canada in 1978 and are still in use today. They form the backbone of the sleeper fleet used on The Canadian, with high season consists regularly including eight Manor Sleepers and sometimes as many as 12! The Manor Sleepers have recently received a cosmetic refurbishment and are expected to remain in service for a long time.

Seaboard Air Line tacked on an order for six cars of the same plan. Their cars were delivered starting in November 1954 and are almost identical to the Canadian versions. Amtrak operated similar cars.

Just like the Superior Stainless Budd Baggage-Dorms, the Budd Manor Sleeper is the most detailed Budd sleeper model you will find in any scale. The full, multi-colour interior is really shown off beautifully by the track-powered interior lighting. It is so inviting that you will want to shrink down to HO scale and go for a long-distance ride on board your model.
