This product's huge selection of drawing room berths, bunks, sofas, settees, plumbing fixtures, and more arrive in a big block-shaped sprue. This is the only size offered.
Product Description
This product page sells sets of Pullman drawing room berths with decorative Ionic column-style berth armrests. Sets of Pullman drawing room berths with rounded Art Deco-style berth armrests can be found on their own separate product page via our main Shapeways store page.
This comprehensive HO set of Pullman appliances and furniture provides the parts to furnish 4 compartments OR 4 drawing rooms (2 rooms each in left- and right-oriented configurations) including connected annexes, PLUS 1 men's lavatory/smoking room with connected saloon and 1 women's lavatory with connected saloon. Please see chart in the images above for a complete inventory list of the included components.

In conjunction with our sets of open section components (sold on their own pages), this huge pack of HO scale Pullman furniture-- focusing on drawing rooms, compartments, annexes, and lounges-- allows for the creation of the countless standardized interior configurations utilized by Pullman during its heyday of the mid 20th Century. From the plush curves of seating and bedding to the complex technical details of plumbing fixtures and water coolers, no detail has been overlooked and no facet of dimensional accuracy has been ignored.
Because Pullman had many floor plan variations, check your drawings against our parts list, illustrated in the photos above, to double check that we offer what you're looking for.
HINTS, TIPS, AND SECRET CODES
-The berths included in this set are marked with the letters "D R" in a location that will be hidden against the car's wall. This marking stands for "drawing room" and is included to indicate that these particular berths are specifically proportioned to fit into a drawing room or compartment; although visually similar to the berths used for open sections, they are not meant to be interchangeable. This dimensional difference is prototypically accurate.
-There are two types of radiator included in this set. The radiator style with three small visible pipes is intended for use in drawing room, compartment, or open section areas of a car. The radiator style with two large visible pipes is intended for use in saloons and annexes.
-There are two types of water cooler included in this set. The water cooler with the cup holder underneath is intended to be installed in the public hallway. The water coolers without cup holders are intended to be installed in compartments and annexes.
-Left- and right-hand-oriented sofas are included for drawing rooms; prototypical cars with multiple drawing rooms frequently featured rooms with mirrored floorplans to save interior space. Position these sofas so that the more decorative of the two sides is facing the drawing room entrance door.
-Similarly, left- and right-hand-oriented compartment settees are included.
-The corner-style stainless steel washstands are designed to be mounted against either 90-degree or rounded room corners. To use the washstand in a rounded corner, use a sanding stick to file away the thin 90-degree flange at the back of the sink, revealing the rounded filet below.
-More than enough upper bunks are provided, with bedding oriented in two directions-- it's recommended to model a car with all of the bedding oriented the same way when viewed from above.
-The sprue cage for this product is complex. Take your time and separate parts as methodically as possible. Use clippers to cut away larger sections of sprue; use smaller files or sanding sticks to clean up edges later.
-Finally! You can re-create Edward Hopper's "Compartment C" in HO scale!
A WORD ABOUT STYLE...
As alluded to in the header, K. Kadwell offers sets of Pullman berths in two distinct styles: a version with round, streamlined Art Deco-looking berth arm rests (as sold on their own separate page in our Shapeways store), and a version with blockier, but more ornate, Ionic column-fashioned berth arm rests (as sold on this page). As far as we can tell, the "Art Deco"-style armrests were introduced in 1910 and were based on similarly-shaped seating used even earlier; the "Ionic"-style armrests seem to have been introduced around 1929. We can't quite guarantee these dates, and of course, cars may have had seats updated in later years. Both styles are iconic to Pullman's heavyweight era and both were still well represented when the cars were being retired-- take a look at interior photographs of prototype cars if you're unsure of which version to use!
