Models

The Penn Central Railroad Historical Society has available cars from an exclusive limited run of Red Caboose X29 panel end Pennsylvania Railroad maintenance of way (MOW) box cars. These cars are ready-to-run models with metal wheelsets and Kadee-compatible couplers.

The X29 box car was the backbone of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s box car fleet through WW II and into the early 1950’s. Later, in the 1960’s, these cars were either rebuilt into X29B, C, D, F, G and L sub-classes or downgraded into MOW and company service. These distinctive yellow box cars were a common sight in yards, sidings, and work trains throughout the late PRR years and through the Penn Central and Conrail eras. In fact, some may still be found scattered throughout the Norfolk Southern system (principally in former PRR, NYC, EL and NH yards).

The Red Caboose cars are ready to run models with metal wheelsets and Kadee compatible couplers. The X29’s are painted in a weathered yellow PRR MOW scheme with black roofs and feature the large plain simplified keystone and gothic PRR reporting marks and black ladders and have REA marker brackets and other hardware installed. Car numbers available are 469546 and 489547.

This extremely limited run of X29 box cars is limited to 300 models. Each car is priced at $31.95 each. Shipping is $5.00 for one car or $7.50 for two or more cars. Use the order form below to order.
