HO PRR H34 Shadow Keystone Covered Hopper Decals
This set was produced to introduce an more comprehensive set for these classes.After spending over 20 years in the development of progressively better covered hopper designs, following the copying of an ACF 2-bay design in the H33, the PRR decided to contract Pullam-Standard to build 300 of their own version of a 2-bay covered hoppers, their PS-2 in April 1954.Following the initial success of the design, the PRR built on its own, or had Pullman-Standard build additional batches through to 1958 so that in total, the fleet numbered 1900 cars. Various design changes throughout the build life include re-spaced roof hatches, side ladders additions and the replacement of ribs over the bolsters from channels to a U-rib. All of these classes were used extensively across the system through to the creation of Penn Central, with some even lasting in this scheme into Conrail.This sheet includes lettering for the H34 in their 1954-1960 Shadow Keystone scheme before they were repainted in the Plain
