Description
Quite simply, one of the older wooden passenger cars used by Valdeen on its branchlines. I think Gunslinger's neat armored car got me into the passenger spirit.

I tried mixing some European and American design here, and I'm actually kinda surprised with the result. It's a single vestibule, open platform car, and when many of them make up a train they are almost always run so that the platform end of one car is coupled to the "blind" end of the next. The blind ends have no diaphragms anyway, so this arrangement makes it -relatively- safe to pass between cars while the train is moving-- but then, the trains that these cars are run in rarely go that fast anyway. These are a common sight behind Class Ds.
