| PRR F31 Class Flatcar Decals |
This set was produced to fill a gap in PRR decals which have never been done prior to this set.
The PRR's F31 Class Flatcars were originally constructed to hold 8 standard sized Containers in 1930. Starting in 1936,
container handling hardware was removed and cars were converted into general service cars with stake pockets and a flat
wood deck. This converted car was classified as an F31a and was the largest general service flatcar in the PRR's fleet. For
more information reference the recently released book on the PRR's flatcar fleet published by the PRRT&HS.
This sheet includes enough decals to decal four cars, 3 F31 container cars and 1 F31a general service car. The set includes
4 different car numbers with the correct build dates for each number. There are six different re-weigh/repack dates. Also,
enough data has been included to decal 16 DD-1 Class containers, which were commonly used with this car while in
container service.
The F31 container car and F31a general service flatcar have been produced in HO brass by Railworks, LTD.
