Chessie System (C&O) “Delivery 1978” is our first Chessie C&O offering in the Greenville world and of course we had to make a big splash with this scheme.  This C&O order is huge – 275 cars were delivered in October and November of 1977.  They feature the late Greenville phase details with 5 grab irons at the left and right corners of the body.  With that fantastic Chessie C&O blue, white “excess height” end painting, and galvanized silver roofs, they are sure to stand out on your layout.  The cars include exact and accurate Chessie C&O data, as applied by Greenville, including metric units!  This model features body-mounted brake rods, Gypsum-style crossover platforms and 100-Ton “Low Profile” Barber S-2-C Roller Bearing Trucks with accurate rotating Timken caps.  This is a big and prototypically-relevant series of cars. SKUs -01 through -06 have October 1977 build data and SKUs -07 through -12 have November 1977 build data.  Chessie fans, who loves you?
