HO PRR Shadow Keystone Covered Hopper Decals

This set was produced to introduce an more comprehensive set for these classes. In 1931 the PRR started development of a car which could more efficiently transport bulk granular material. This created the GLe class, it also resulted in a singular H21 converted into the singular H21d class proving need for a larger capacity covered hopper. The H30 was the result of this experimental one-off. The H30 design was so successful that 6 orders were placed. The 6th order was delayed by WW2, and after some minor improvements resulted in creation of the H30a. Still, it was found lighter commodities easily filled the H30 classes, so a larger version, the H32 was created. Finally, the H33 was created by the PRR based on input from commercial freight car builders. All of these classes were used extensively across the system through to the creation of Penn Central. Some of the cars also got transferred to MOW service.This sheet includes lettering for the above five classes of cars in their 1954-1960
