HO PRR GR & GRa Gondola Decals

This set was produced to introduce an more comprehensive set for these classes. Adopted in 1902, the GR class was the built from March 1902 to 1907. This class was a short, 37’-6” 50 ton capacity composite constructed car. In total, there were 16,151 built. Over time, the class was retrofitted with improvements, mostly replacing wood parts with steel. Stake pockets were included on the cars as-built, however most had them removed after 1943 when they were deemed unnecessary. The GR class was actively retired by the thousands by the mid-1930’s. 198 remained in service by January 1953, with only a handful into the 1960’s.The GRa was also a 50 ton capacity composite constructed car, however it was built to a length of 40’-8”. Similar in appearance to the GR, the main indentifying feature is the two wider spaced ribs in the center of the car. A total of 14,126 were built from December 1907 to 1916. GRa were rapidly retired following WW2 with few remaining past the 1950’s into the 1960’s. S
