HO Streamline Cars, ATSF #4010 Coach/4022 Coach/1122 Observation (3)
The streamliner cars are a class of streamlined passenger railroad cars built from the 1930s through the 1960s for long distance passenger train services in North America. They often included nicer amenities like stewardess service, an observation lounge, and reserved coach seating.
After World War II the railroad companies in the United States wanted to modernize their fleets of passenger cars. They chose the flexibility of individual cars. The design of the streamlined cars was derived from the Pioneer Zephyr, although the Pullman cars had a smooth body surface and the others the typical ribbed body surface. The streamliner cars were built by three railcar manufacturers: the Budd Company, Pullman Standard, and ACF.
