Jim, the stenciling and the stripe are not specific to the Pennsy. They are specified by AAR standards to identify cars equipped with auto racks, and the "37+" refers to the particular rack setup in that car. I'd have to dig through some records to find out exactly what it meant, but it won't really have any bearing on what your model looks like on the outside.

Working on lettering a Pennsy X31 double door box car, specifically an X31c in the 62800 series. The prototype photo shows the right hand door with a stencil "Auto Racks" about 1/3rd of the way up the door. Under that is about a 6" wide white stripe horizontally side to side across the door and under that is stenciled "37+". To the SPF's out there, any idea what all this means?? > > BTW, just to show the quality of Des Plaines Hobbies decals (Thanks Ron!), all that information including the white stripe is included on the PRR-12 decal set for the X31 (ball herald). If you haven't ever spent some quality time with Des Plaines decals and a Building and Structure Co. laser cut peel and stick wood box car interior kit; you probably belong to too many egroups...! <G> > > Jim K. > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > Yahoo!
