The Rapido X31A is a faithful HO scale recreation of the Pennsylvania Railroad's distinctive round-roof boxcar — a design the PRR introduced in 1934 and built by the thousands to wring maximum capacity out of the standard loading gauge. This single-door car wears the classic "Shadow Keystone" scheme as road number #69177, finished in Tuscan Red with crisp, prototype-accurate lettering. With separately applied details, free-rolling metal wheels, and knuckle couplers, it's ready to run straight out of the box on any era-appropriate freight train.

What era is this boxcar right for?
The PRR's X31A round-roof boxcars entered service in 1934 and ran into the mid-1960s, so this car fits Steam, Transition, and early Diesel-era layouts.
Does it have metal wheels and knuckle couplers?
Yes. It rolls on free-rolling, blackened turned-metal wheelsets and comes with factory-installed knuckle couplers, ready to run on any standard HO layout.
Is this sold as a single car?
Yes — this is one individually road-numbered car (#69177), not a multi-pack. Buy one or collect several road numbers to build a fleet.
Do I need to assemble or paint it?
No. It's a fully assembled, ready-to-run model with factory-applied paint and lettering.
