Description

Broadway Limited Imports is excited to bring another one of our most popular HO scale passenger cars to N scale with the debut of the Union Pacific Kenefick Business Car!

A familiar sight on Union Pacific's famous heritage passenger fleet, the Kenefick has traveled the rails for decades and has become one of the railroad's most recognizable business cars. Originally built in 1950 as Coach No. 5446, the car was rebuilt into Business Car No. 99 in 1963 before being renamed Kenefick in 1988 to honor former Union Pacific Chairman and CEO John C. Kenefick.

Over the years, the Kenefick has been part of many of Union Pacific's most memorable excursions and special events. It traveled across the country behind the legendary Big Boy No. 4014 during its celebrated 2019 tour and served as the rear car on President George H.W. Bush's funeral train, securing its place as one of the most iconic cars in Union Pacific's heritage fleet.

For its first-ever N scale production run, we've faithfully recreated the Kenefick in its modern-day appearance, capturing the details that make this historic car so distinctive. Each model features individually controllable lighting and includes several prototypical drumhead options, allowing you to customize the rear of your train for different excursion or business train operations.

Whether you're building a modern Union Pacific excursion train, recreating the Big Boy's famous passenger consist, or adding another standout piece to your collection, the Kenefick Business Car is the perfect finishing touch. With its rich history, striking appearance, and exceptional level of detail, it's a model that belongs behind some of the most famous locomotives in North America.

About the Prototype: Originally constructed by American Car & Foundry in 1950 as Union Pacific Coach No. 5446, the car was rebuilt into Business Car No. 99 in 1963 to serve the railroad's executive fleet. In 1988, it was renamed Kenefick in honor of John C. Kenefick, who served as Union Pacific's Chairman and CEO from 1986 to 1995 and played a key role in the railroad's modernization and expansion.

Today, Kenefick remains an active member of Union Pacific's Heritage Fleet, regularly appearing on executive specials, public excursions, and high-profile events across the railroad's network. Often seen as part of Union Pacific's famous yellow passenger train, it continues to represent the railroad's commitment to preserving its rich history while showcasing one of the most recognizable business cars in modern railroading.

    Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions

    What is preordering and why would I want to do that?

    In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.

    Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.

    Preordering is as easy as 1-2-3!
    1. Preordering is available on any item with the word "Preorder" as the first word in the product title.
    2. We will email your invoice approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse. With the interactive invoice you can select your preferred shipping method and pay the balance of your order right online!
    3. We'll ship you your preorder once your invoice is paid online. 

    How can I place a preorder?

    To place a preorder, simply look for items marked with "PREORDER" in their title on our website. Add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll be required to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation.

    When will I be charged for my preorder?

    You'll be charged a 10% deposit at the time of placing your preorder. The remaining balance, along with any applicable sales tax and shipping charges, will be due when the item is ready to be shipped. We'll notify you via email with a link to complete your payment.

    Can I cancel my preorder?

    Preorders can be canceled, but please note that the 10% deposit is non-refundable and will not be credited to store credit, as it goes toward covering the cost of the uncollected reservation.
