Apparently some think so. As Elden said, clear photographs of the first 1000 cars showing the ends are hard to find. There is some indication that the ends of the first 1000 cars were different from the last 200 cars. Absent photographs the only other way to resolve this would be to find the communication and orders for the parts used to rebuild the cars. I take it that this concern is why Jerry Glow decided not to do the CK X29 decals. Rich Orr

I now understand the first X29D's were probably "new" January 1952, but is this 1952 prototype of different physical characteristics (other tha paint) then the WrightTrak model being discussed.

The first 1000 cars were delivered by mid 1953. These were delivered in the circle keystone scheme. While the number series assigned to the class provided for 2900 cars, I have not seen an ORER showing more than 2880 cars. Doesn't mean that other 20 were never received. Just I have not seen a number that high. The shadow keystone was first applied in Feb 1954 to the 10 X48 (PS1). New cars delivered after that date would most likely be shadow keystone cars. The important question is were any of these painted with the "calendar" style road numbers which were applied for a very short period of time about 6 months in 1954.

Second, not being a PRR fan or having any knowledge hidden away on my library shelves, just what are the dates that these cars were first rebuilt and entered service?

At the show in Naperville we will be selling our new HO scale resin X29D kit. This kit features our usual one piece body and a separate underframe. This kit also includes the correct Bowser trucks, Kadee grabs, roofwalk and brake wheel. Tichy ladders and brake gear are also included. We decided NOT to do custom decals for this car due to the fact that Microscale has the correct ones available. This would have also added about $6.00 to the cost of the kit and we felt that having the kit priced at $55.00 or more would be a deal killer.
