Re: (erielack) The EL Hot 100...honorable mention #19

Rich...

I think the Rail Yard Models kits are showing up because people like me realize they can't put them together, paint, and decal them and get them to look better than the Tangent Scale Models release!  I know I can't.  I'm holding onto my kit, though.

 Pat & List, Rail Yard Models produced this car years back. It too incorporates great quality. These are showing up quite a bit lately on eBay. I have 4-5 personally, none built yet!

List...

The PRR built the X58 class boxcar at Samuel Rea Shops in the 1964-65 time frame, separated into four sub-classes (X58, X58A, B, and C).  If we consider all the PRR X58 boxcars as one car type, the EL consist sheets have 32 examples, which would put this car in the list right around number 100.  The PRR cars were found in the number series 112000 - 113386 (X58, X58A, B, C), 113687 - 113981 (X58A), 114222 - 114426 (X58B), and 117813 - 118490 (X58).

Tangent Scale Models offers this exact car type!  A new run was announced earlier in the year which included a PRR X58A boxcar.  A previous run included a PRR X58 boxcar.
