  • The Remarkable Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC)
    A Report Prepared for Champ P3 Prepared by Carl H. Fowler CHF Rail Consulting LLC February 2017 The Remarkable Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC) British Columbia Railway RDC train along Anderson Lake, B.C. Canada In 1949 the Budd Company of Philadelphia, PA, introduced the Rail Diesel Car (RDC). This was a remarkable new self-propelled passenger car, that would prove ideal for use on regional, branch line and moderate demand routes. The Budd RDC used the body of a standard streamlined 85-foot-long intercity passenger car. But the RDC could move by its own power, because of the use of under-the- floor-mounted compact diesel engines, which used torque converter drives to independently power the trucks at the front and back of each car. This design was special, for by placing the actual engines under the car, virtually the entire car interior was useable for fare-generating seats, restrooms and luggage. Earlier self-propelled passenger cars had placed the noisy engines inside the car-body, dramatically reducing revenue space. Between 1949 and 1962 Budd completed 398 RDC cars for 32 different railroads, mostly in the United States, but cars were sold to Canada, Brazil, Cuba and Australia as well. RDC cars addressed the need for crew and fuel efficiencies, as well as passenger comfort and speed of operation. The Budd Company was a pioneer in modern passenger car design. The great enemy of passenger cars had been rust getting into the interior frame of the car, through the holes that were drilled in the car’s exterior to bolt the car’s exterior shell to the inside frame.

The GP35 was EMD’s sec- ond offering in what now is considered the second generation of diesel power. Over 1300 units were produced in a little over two years. Lessons learned from past Bproduction and advancing technology provided for a quantum leap forward in performance and operation. In addition, EMD with the production of the GP35 began the use of standard modular construction in the design of locomotive bodies. This standard locomotive of the 1960’s can still be seen in operation nearly four decades after it was first introduced. Athearn’s Ready-To-Run GP35 represents a phase 1a version that was produced from October 1963 to February 1964. This was arguably the most widely used variant of the GP35. Some of the spotting features of this phase captured on the model are: • Thick side sill • Triple louver sets on the battery box covers • Open top 36" radiator center fans • Flat bottom cab number board housing • Flat inertial air filter hatch • Low profile fuel tank • Multiple latches on the engine compartment doors This attention to detail and the unsurpassed value built into every Ready-To-Run™ locomotive, as well as all the additional incorporated features, makes them the first choice with model railroad operators.
