HO Scale

 

Between 1964 and 1966, the Pennsylvania Railroad built a large fleet of new multiple-purpose boxcars.  Constructed as Class "X58", PRR rapidly produced 2, 565 cars, plus another 100 for Lehigh Valley.  PRR outfitted the interiors of some cars with "loader" appliances and /or insulation which resulted in PRR designating four sub-classes:  X58, X58A, X58B, and X58C.  Being highly useful boxcars, X58 boxcars were rampant nationwide roamers during their service life.  Many X58s lasted beyond the Conrail era.  Most cars were retired in the mid-2000s.

Tangent offers distinctive phase and era variations with our PRR X58 replicas, including high or low ladders, high or low brake appliances, and Keystone or Hydra-cushion underframes.  Our PRR X58  includes our "near-scale" extended-length draft sill with beautifully rendered side "key" detail and gorgeous "trombone-sytle" coupler lift bars, plus accurate ASF 70 ton roller bearing trucks as utilized by PRR.  Finally, our scale replicas operate as well as they look,  equipped with free-rolling CND-machined wheels and Kadee® scale couplers, meaning our models are truly ready-to-run.

CR “LV 1979 X58 Restencil” represents a “paintout” car for the Conrail era modelers. This car retains the “Insulated” and “LD” graphics of the original LV car, as well as the LV flag. However, the large “LEHIGH VALLEY” and the LV reporting marks and number have been painted out just like the prototype was, including two different shades of gray. The car includes the CR initials and road number, as well as a “RDG 4-79” reweigh, and is a match for this 1979 restencil model available with 1 road number. We first ran this same car number in 2016, and it was a fast sellout. If you missed this car the first time, here is a rare second chance!
