The F22 was designed for the large loads of the era, with one of the primary loads being battleship gun barrels. The gun tubes were sent from the point of manufacturer to the shipyard for their creation, but also between service assignments, the tubes would need to be serviced after being used. The Washington D.C. Navy Yard, an on-line customer for the PRR had the primary responsibility for the construction and maintenance of these guns. By the 1920’s, the trucks on the cars were upgraded from heavy-duty arch bar trucks to heavier duty cast trucks, which increased the capacity to 190,000 pounds. In addition the gun barrel loads, these cars were used for other large shipments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe F23 class was built at Altoona in February 1913, these were steel decked versions of the F22, assigned to Westinghouse for their needs of heavy-duty cars for transporting transformers, although Westinghouse preferred depressed center cars, at this point the PRR did not favor that type of car design.

To maximize capacity they \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eused a new unique roof design, where it curved at the edge, termed a “round roof” or “wagontop”. The X32 and X33 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclasses were both 50 foot cars with staggered doors. The X33 differed from the X32 in that it also had end doors. Both \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eX32 and X33 cars were built in 1933. Then, in 1936 after some design improvements, the X32a and X33a classes were \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econstructed.

The resulting need for specific \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eservice X32’s resulted in different batches and classes being built, which introduced the X32b class. In 1940 auto loading \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eracks were applied to some X32b, which created the X32c class.

Known for its longevity in the fleet, this car became a signature of the Pennsy’s coal trains. This class of car was rebuilt many times throughout the years.  Notable classes wearing the Circle Keystone scheme were H21a, H21b, and H21e. Some of these cars lasted to the end of the PRR in 1968.

A key feature of the class was its uniquely designed sides, which were built to necessitate easier loading of coke, and also try to prevent heap overloading. Starting in 1922, conversions of the H22 hoppers started to take place. The major external difference was closing off the coke gates. By October 1930, out of 4,169 cars, only 468 were H22’s, with the remainder being H22a’s. As the H22a’s started to age, some were again rebuilt, but as H21a’s. Fleet numbers diminished so much that by the mid-1940’s thee were only 1,500 cars, and by 1955, only 24 remained on the roster, the rest either scrapped or converted to an H21 subclass. None of these cars lasted to the end of the PRR in 1968.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe H22 and H22a class has been produced in plastic by Bowser.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween 1919 and 1923, the PRR had 3,000 class H25 hoppers built. It differed subtly in appearance from the H21a, and was done so because of lessons learned from the H21, H22 and H24 class hopper cars. By the 1930's, there were over 5,000 of these cars on the PRR system. Starting in 1949 some H25's were rebuilt into class H25, which was identical to the PRR's later H21g class. By April 1955 643 of the remaining 3,127 in service H25's were converted to H25a's.

In addition to brass, this class has also been done in resin by F\u0026amp;C.
