The Open-Sided Excursion Car was developed specifically for these railroads. Many were constructed using the chassis (and sometimes body) of gondolas or flatcars, making them a cost-effective solution to these mostly volunteer-run operations, allowing them to quickly build up a fleet of passenger-carrying cars. From these humble beginnings, the open car has today become an essential component of most tourist railroads - even when paired with traditional passenger cars - offering a thrilling open-air experience for riders as they travel through breathtaking scenery.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Features include:\u003cbr\u003e Blackened metal wheels\u003cbr\u003e Friction-bearing Bettendorf trucks\u003cbr\u003e RP25 wheel contours\u003cbr\u003e Body-mounted E-Z Mate Mark II couplers\u003cbr\u003e Fine-scale detailing\n\nWARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov","brand":"Bachmann Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42129737908306,"sku":"BAC-17431","price":50.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/88553983118105_xyeb_b5bf3d7e-939a-4344-bd9c-7b0b1ad72e74.jpg?v=1780978101"},{"product_id":"bachmann-spectrum-on30-26033-wood-gondola-style-excursion-car-east-broad-top","title":"Bachmann Spectrum On30 26033 Wood Gondola-Style Excursion Car, East Broad Top","description":"WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.\u003cbr\u003eFor more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov \u003cbr\u003e\n\nWARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov","brand":"Bachmann Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42131029098578,"sku":"BAC-26033","price":72.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/87523963670282__38568.jpg?v=1756176964"},{"product_id":"bachmann-trains-ho-17401-open-sided-excursion-car-with-seats-ready-to-run-silver-series-east-broad-top-168","title":"Bachmann Trains HO 17401 Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats, Ready-to-Run, Silver Series, East Broad Top #168","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurpose-built for use on tourist railroads and routes with exceptional scenic beauty, open-sided excursion cars provide a more exhilarating, sensory experience, allowing passengers to feel the wind as the train moves, smell the smoke from the locomotive, and hear the whistle as they traverse the landscape.
