These cars traveled throughout North America and could be seen just about anywhere until the mid 1960s when age and attrition began to take their toll. Even so, more than 1000 were still in service at the time of the Penn Central merger, though most were retired quickly thereafter. Rapido is pleased to announce an all-new HO model of the X31A boxcars in both single- and double-door variations. These cars feature state-of-the-art tooling with separate grabs, crisp and accurate details and correct PRR class 2D-F12 trucks with free-rolling turned metal wheelsets. Both Equipco and Ajax brake wheels will be offered, with the correct style being applied to each car. These cars will be offered in multiple numbers and sold to dealers as three or six car packs which can be broken up for individual sale.
