FAQ
What is the X31a "Shadow Keystone" scheme?
The Pennsylvania Railroad's late-period boxcar livery used a darker outline ("shadow") behind the keystone herald. It ran on PRR boxcars from the mid-1950s through the Penn Central merger in 1968 and is one of the most distinctive freight schemes of the transition era.
What era does this car fit?
X31a boxcars were built from 1934 onward and remained in service through the PRR and Penn Central eras into the late 1970s. The late Shadow Keystone scheme places this car firmly in the mid-1950s through 1968.
Will the couplers work with my Kadee fleet?
Yes - the included knuckle couplers are body-mounted and Kadee-compatible.
Are the wheels metal?
Yes - Rapido's standard turned-metal 33" wheelsets, mounted in the correct PRR 2D-F12 truck.
