Here is our newest offering. The Pennsylvania Railroad's X29 SK2a class boxcars in express service with the Shadow keystone herald. This is also our first joint effort with the Texas Western Model Railroad Club. The models were produced by Red Caboose exclusively for the Amarillo Railroad Museum and the Texas Western. They represent a mid-1950s version of the express boxcars with plate ends and patch plates along the bottom of the sides. They carry a reweigh date of 11-57. There are six numbers available.
Finding appropriate numbers for these cars was a daunting task since the number of cars painted in this scheme is unknown and there is limited photographic coverage. But thanks to excellent research done by Ben Hom and the PRRT&HS Modeling Committee, we have six valid numbers.
The cars come equipped with Kadee couplers and Red Caboose's PRR 2D-F8 trucks with InterMountain Railway Company metal wheelsets.
The cars sell for $34.95 each plus shipping.
VERY IMPORTANT! Please order these cars from the Texas Western Model Railroad Club's website (Click the link below). In order to consolidate sales to a central location, the Amarillo Railroad Museum sent all the cars to Ft. Worth for sales and distribution.
As usual you can pay with Master Card, Visa, Discover, PayPal or check. For this car only the Texas Western can also take American Express. If you want to order by phone, please call (682) 587-2093.
Available numbers: 2067, 2122, 2316, 9489, 9548, and 9571
