Pennsylvania X29 Box Cars 503920 and 504222
Lester Breuer
I have finished two Red Caboose Pennsylvania X29 box cars, 503920 with a Creco door and 504222 with a Youngstown steel door. The cars have AB brakes located in the correct position as discussed on this site. If you are interested in viewing, photos and writeup of building and finishing the two PRR X29 Box cars are now on my blog I started to share photos and writeups of modeling projects on my Minneapolis & Northland Railroad Company. If you would like to take a look please do at the following:

Nice work! One minor correction. While many have called the 3 panel door on the X29 a “CRECo” door, in reality it is not a product of the Chicago Railway Equipment Co and is more correctly called a "car builder's door" or "PRR 3-panel door".
There are subtle differences between the PRR “carbuilder’s door” and a CRECo door.
