Description
Pre-order — delivery date to be announced by Rapido.
The Rapido 1137005A is a single HO scale PRR H21E four-bay hopper in the PRR - Red, Shadow Keystone scheme.
The Pennsylvania Railroad built about 39,000 H21-class four-bay hoppers — through the 1950s roughly one of every two PRR hoppers was an H21. The H21A rode on 70-ton trucks; from 1948 the PRR rebuilt many as class H21E with a stronger center sill and power hand brakes, and in 1960 more were rebuilt as H21G, most with straight rectangular side posts. Penn Central reclassified later rebuilds as H5, and many cars finished their careers in maintenance-of-way service. This is the first time the H21G has been offered in HO.
- Correct details for each sub-class — center sill, sides, ends and brake gear (K or AB as appropriate)
- Detailed underframe with brake piping
- Separate wire grab irons
- Free-rolling trucks with profiled metal wheels; semi-scale metal knuckle couplers
- Suggested minimum radius 18"
