Models. |
|
| The
Model: There
are 12 (or 3) unique road #'s available for each paint
scheme.
They are fully assembled and include the correct
style truck and AccuMate® style
couplers. Cars
come complete with coal loads! Underframes
are painted to match car body. First Run due in November.
Watch for more roads and paint schemes to be announced
shortly. This is a great unit train coal car for the
steam, transition and early diesel era! |
| Update
- New Road #'s: Each paint scheme is
offered in 12 (or 3) unique road #'s. When
the initial run is sold
out, these #'s will be retired and the car will be
re-issued
in new #'s. |
| The
Prototype: In
1898, Pressed Steel Car Co. built the first
all-steel hopper car designated the GL. The
Pennsylvania Railroad would purchase several
thousand of this design. Due to production
backlogs at P.S.C.Co. and flaws in the initial
design, the Penny came up with its own all-steel,
bottom-discharge hopper car in 1904 designated
the GLa. Approximately 30,000 GLa’s were
produced between 1904 and 1920. The Pennsy
also built Gla’s for numerous coal companies
who were anxious for the well-built and reasonably
priced cars. Until the 1960’s, this design
was one of the three most numerous classes
of PRR freight cars. Although by this time,
these cars began to rapidly disappear from
the PRR roster, a few made it into the Penn
Central and even Conrail rosters, lasting into
the early 1980’s. |
