Revised N-scale Conrail PC&F Ex Post Insulated Boxcars!

After studying the ORER (April 1987 and July 1990), and photos from Jeff Lopez and his coordination with the Conrail Historical Society, we have decided to revised the N scale Conrail PC&F Exterior Post Insulated Boxcar numbers back to 360xxx series to better reflect this car history. However, Wheels of Time item numbers (SKU) does not change. It's still in the WOT #61171 through #61178.

Revised Conrail artwork A little bit of background of our changes:  Majority of Conrail MTDS PC&F cars were not renumbered from PC series. Only 4 cars were renumbered to 365xxx series as of 1987 with an addition of 4 more cars as of 1990. Further, marjority of the cars kept their "loading equipment" for the duration of their service with Conrail . . . so RBL markings.  They were used for food and beverage service and were equipped with pallets. Strangely, they kept their originally weigh date and were never reweighted when repainted. Our revised car numbers will reflect these changes to give you a more historically accurate car. By the way, the photo in Morning Sun Books Conrail Color Guide pg 75 is actually a photo of an uncommon renumbering and was not the norm.  

Our revised car numbers are listed below for our N-scale Conrail PC&F boxcar. For those who have already pre-ordered these cars, the WOT item number is what we will be using to fulfill the orders.
