WFT, all four of those boxcars are beauties. But I have never seen anything like the green one, and I cannot find it online. Do you know if it is a model of a real boxcar? It looks pretty sharp, regardless.

 

Vincent, yes these are very prototypical.  They were built by "General American Transportation Corp"  (GAEX) in the 50's and early 60's.  They are 50"-6" inside length all leased to the PRR.  

You will find pictures on page 47 of Morning Sun Books "PRR Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment" Volume 2.

I have the MTH version made about 25-years ago,

Ron

Edit:

MTH made it in-fact as a 50-foot model as part of Set 20-90003 shipped in August 1999,
