Restoration of Car 451: "Rattling Run"

Restoration of Car 451: "Rattling Run"


The Crown Class Car 451, “Rattling Run”, was purchased by Reading and Northern at auction over a year ago.

It has been in service since that purchase, but our restoration and paint teams determined that a simple “face-lift” would not be sufficient for such a wonderful car.

The recon wizards of our rehabilitation staff have been hard at work for over a month and placed the finishing touches on our 451 this week!

When you ride in “Rattling Run”, you’ll see exceptional interior redecoration and a mirror finish exterior to match the rest of our Crown Class fleet!

Here is a sneak peak…

For the eagle-eyed RBMN fans, you may notice that this style of coach is very similar to our other popular car the 450 (“Pagoda”) which was also released earlier this year.
