The two cars are very similar, but not identical. Both have four 3-axle Buckeye trucks mounted on span bolsters. The PRR F38 has a main deck that extends almost the full-length of the car, with

Thanks to everyone who replied. I’ll pass your responses on to my friend. Cheers Dave

Aren't the two cars identical? When first released the ECW car was advertised as a D&H car. Francis A. Pehowic, Jr.

Dave, I do not know if it had decals. I would say probably not. Francis A. Pehowic, Jr.

Dave, This flat car was produced by GSC as a "kit" which a number of railroads purchased. On the PRR this was the F34. F&C recently released the F34 in HO, and subsequently SP and C&NW versions of

I have evidence of a PRR stockcar, either a K7 or K7A, being on the MSTL in Iowa. PRR 135263 was loaded with cattle at So St Paul, and shipped to Dallas Center IA on the MSTL, arriving on 8-8-1945.

The other possibility, pointed out by that photo of loading brick into a stockcar, is a non-livestock backhaul load. While brick typically didn't move far enough to get a PRR car on the SP, cut stone
