Yes, you read correctly! Rapido postponed the X31A deadline to November, as they are still waiting for the latest samples to arrive from the factory. They were delayed by the factory being closed for the last week. This gives you even more time to get your orders in!

 

Rapido Trains Inc. has announced new X31A Single/Double Door Boxcars


PRR X31A Single-Door Boxcar

 

In 1934 the Pennsylvania Railroad started production of a new series of 40’ boxcars – the X31 series. These cars featured an unusual round roof appearance to provide maximum capacity within the then-standard loading gauge. The most numerous group of these new boxcars was the X31A, produced in both single and double door variants. In total, the PRR produced 6700 X31A boxcars, with another 2000 cars being produced to similar classes X31B and X31C. This made the X31 series the second most numerous series of PRR boxcar after 1949. There were more X31 boxcars than many railroads had entire freight car fleets of all types!

 

 

These cars traveled throughout North America and could be seen just about anywhere until the mid 1960s when age and attrition began to take their toll. Even so, more than 1000 were still in service at the time of the Penn Central merger, though most were retired quickly thereafter. Rapido is pleased to announce an all-new HO model of the X31A boxcars in both single- and double-door variations. These cars feature state-of-the-art tooling with separate grabs, crisp and accurate details and correct PRR class 2D-F12 trucks with free-rolling turned metal wheelsets. Both Equipco and Ajax brake wheels will be offered, with the correct style being applied to each car. These cars will be offered in multiple numbers and sold to dealers as three or six car packs which can be broken up for individual sale.

Reserve your models of this important freight car today!
