Ken, My 1958 ORER lists this as series 92000-92099; a 50' 6" boxcar with an IH of 10' 6", 4860 cubic-foot capacity, with a single 8' side door opening. There are no special notes or restrictions on

Oh My Goodness! I thought this sounded familiar! Ted Culotta models this car in his Volume Four of Prototype Railroad Modeling. Have at it Ken----Mike Schleigh

Thanks, John. TCP-244 is very close to the pictures you attached. I’ll compare SC PRR Freight Car with Tru Color ACL freight car red and see what it looks like. Nelson Moyer

Hi Nelson, I'm no expert but I prefer Scalecoat PRR Freight Car Color. I think it best approximates the color in the attached photo, which is circa 1951 of some newly re-painted cars. John Golden

My late father-in-law worked for Union Carbide so I collect photos of their cars. Here is what I have for you on LAPX cars. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Hello Group! Contemplating the details of the historic Pennsy X29 boxcars it is not easy to overlook the initial application thereon of the Carmer operating lever. This was surely a popular option

Hi List Members, Quite a number of boxcars, and just about every boxcar visible in this image belongs to CP! CP 240344 (a CP minibox with a 12-52 reweigh date) figures prominently, as does CP

No 1960's or 1970's modeler thinks rebuilding faded away... I have literally a few thousand images of rebuilt cars from the 1960's into the 1990's from dozens of railroads and
