PC\u0026amp;F delivered 300 B-100-32s in 1972 and 250 B-100-34s between 1973 and 1974, all with modern Hydra-Cushion underframes, 100-ton roller-bearing trucks, 10-foot doors and DF-2 loaders. Capacity was 4,124 cubic feet. Although their primary job was copper service, the cars roamed across the country in all kinds of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1990s SP refurbished much of the fleet, putting them into attractive Golden West Service blue and remarking them for the Galveston Railway (GVSR). Fifty cars were leased to CP under CPAA reporting marks before returning to SP. After the 1996 UP merger many were sold to secondary operators including the Northwestern Oklahoma Railroad (NOKL), and in 2010 they were sold again to the Arizona Eastern Railway (AZER) — which still operates them today. Rapido's HO B-100-32 and B-100-34 captures this long-lived fleet with separately applied metal grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, scale-sized draft gear with Hydra-Cushion underframe, full underbody brake rigging, real rubber air hoses, and multiple door styles (Youngstown or Superior).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable as singles and six-packs in prototype road numbers across multiple SP, Golden West\/GVSR, CPAA, NOKL and AZER schemes.
