Reply to "Scale (or maybe Semi?) PRR Boxcars"

Thanks guys.

The Atlas O RR X29 is a good model to scale.    PRR had slightly over 40,000 of these cars at one time.     Also the Atlas O USRA Outside braced car is a PRR X26 which they had close to 10,000.    They converted most of these to Steel rebuilt car.   The Atlas O USRA steel rebuilt car is not as good a model in some respects as the other 2, but represents this class as rebuilt to X26c.

The Lionel Roundroof PRR car is a pretty good model of the PRR roundroof car, X31 I think.   PRR did not have as many of these, but still a decent class.

This is what I was looking for.  I found some website that listed a bunch of different types that PRR had (X29, X31, X37, etc.).   For whatever reason, I've never been too fond of the roundroof boxcars.  Not sure why, but just haven't.  The looks of the X29 and X37 look similar, that's pretty much what I think I want to go for.

Is Atlas the only one that makes these?

The Lionel boxcars that MrMuffins listed, I think they are all roundroof, correct?

Also, I know someone mentioned 2-rail... with my space and current setup (I have a couple hundred pieces of rolling stock and about 12 engines - all 3 rail) that wouldn't work.
