In the 1960s, a number of Pennsylvania class G26 and G26A cars were rebuilt with larger reinforcement ribs and reclassified as G26C. The sub-class remained in service at the time of the Penn Central merger, and a number continued generating revenue in the Conrail era.

The body and detail parts are injection molded plastic, while the underframe is diecast. The drop ends can be positioned either up or down. Intricate and accurate detail is present inside as well as outside. The model rides at the prototypically-correct height above the rails, on Micro-Trains truck frames fitted with low-profile metal wheelsets. The style of truck frame and hand brake utilized are specified with each model. Body-mounted coupler pockets are integrated into the underframe and body. The model is equipped with Micro-Trains #1015 knuckle couplers.

The model will not traverse less than 12½-inch radius curves.
