Price: $31.00 Shipping: $0.00 Part Number: 1301 Qty: ERAS: 00s 10s DS_BOX MODELS: XL w/wood roof, pre-safety appliance, Empire Line fast frt. ROADS: PRR Empire Line The XL may well be the most built design of all time with over 37,000 cars installed between 1902 and 1916. The cars sported over 20 heralds and roadnames for Pennsy and its subsidiaries. We now offer cars covering every known variation, from installation to scrapping in completely revised kits. The original design was based on the "house" portion of the previous design, the XH. The fishbelly underframe was a Pressed Steel innovation, first used by Pennsy on the GL coal car in 1899. Coupler lift bars and the use of tunnel brakes varied through production (1902-09) and the kit allows for these differences. General decals allow both Lines East (PRR) and West (Penna. Co., later PL) to be modeled in original and later lettering styles. The Empire Line was a fast freight service operating over Lines East, LS&MS, CCC&StL, LE&W and connecting lines. Pennsy had over 500 cars in Empire Line service, running from 1902 into the early 1920's. This kit covers pre-safety appliance cars that ran into the 'teens. The lettering supplied allows 1902, 1905 and 1909 lettering styles to be used.
