Rapido HO 119015 Budd Manor Sleeper Car, Via Rail "Amherst Manor"

Original Scheme

All 42 Manor Sleepers were delivered to Canadian Pacific in 1954 and 1955. They were named after prominent figures in English Canadian history. The Manor Sleepers were transferred to VIA Rail Canada in 1978 and are still in use today. They form the backbone of the sleeper fleet used on The Canadian, with high season consists regularly including eight Manor Sleepers and sometimes as many as 12! The Manor Sleepers have recently received a cosmetic refurbishment and are expected to remain in service for a long time.
