These 60 cars were built in early December 1965, classed as X58B and wore the attractive black and white Lehigh Valley paint scheme.   The LV scheme is a good example of “classy” as you notice the side grab irons (“ladders”) are painted black against the white sides along with the red LV flag painted across the ten-foot plug door.  The models are sharp, equipped with accurate Keystone cushion underframes and Apex-style roof walkways.  We are releasing twelve (yes, 12!) individual car numbers, with each individual car number researched to include accurate return route lettering as used by the Lehigh Valley.  Modelers take careful notice that many of these cars return home to non-LV roads!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-gallery woocommerce-product-gallery--with-images woocommerce-product-gallery--columns-4 images\" data-columns=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eBetween 1964 and 1966, the Pennsylvania Railroad built a large fleet of new multiple-purpose boxcars at their Samuel Rea Shops in Hollidaysburg, PA. Constructed as class “X58,” PRR rapidly produced 2,565 cars, plus another 100 for Lehigh Valley. PRR outfitted the interiors of some cars with “loader” appliances and\/or insulation which resulted in PRR designating 4 sub-classes: X58, X58A, X58B, and X58C. Being highly-useful boxcars, X58 boxcars were rampant nationwide roamers during their service life.  Many X58s lasted beyond the Conrail era. Most cars were retired in the mid-2000s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eWe studied the prototype to accurately reproduce it with the following features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
