HO Pennsylvania Railroad 50ft Class X58B Boxcar: PRR (Original 1965) #113319
(Different road number shown)
From Tangent Scale Models:
PRR “Original 1965 X58B” wears the attractive “PRR freight car red” scheme featuring yellow “Cushioned Car” stencils, plus a sharp PRR white keystone. Like PRR paint practices, this car has an unpainted galvanized roof and running board, except for the ends that have the characteristic paint spray line as seen in overhead photos of these cars when fresh. This new run of PRR cars is a new paint scheme variation we have not yet offered, and has a Keystone underframe and represents production from 3-65.
