Bombardier Control Coach Go Transit #200

This is an Athearn HO scale model of a Bombardier Control Coach Car lettered for GO Transit #200. This car has metal wheels and knuckle couplers. The under carriage and trucks are painted a grimy black and the car is lightly weathered.

 

The BiLevel coaches were originally designed by Toronto's regional commuter rail service, GO Transit and Hawker Siddeley Canada in the mid-1970s as a more efficient replacement for GO's original single-deck diesel multiple units. Later coaches were manufactured by Urban Transportation Development Corporation/Can-Car and finally Bombardier, who now own the designs and manufacturing facility. There are more than seven hundred such coaches in service today and almost all have been built at the company's Thunder Bay, and Plattsburgh, NY plants.
