Having been unable to find any other example of this stamped side sill style of PRR flat car elsewhere on the web, I'm wondering if anyone knows of such.
Here's one, ex PRR #491240 (Kurt Bell). Has some corrosion "issues".

Thank you, this was just what I was looking for - details!

As for the car, not bad for 100+ years of service. Would that I could say the same at 70.

Please forgive the subterfuge. Both you and Kurt, PRR purists, will be dismayed to learn that my object is replication of SIRT X503, an obvious recycling of a wrecked car. However, the X503 soldiered on into the 1950's, "providing yeoman service", under the SIRT banner blue.
