Time to hit the swap meets I think
Red Ball used to have one - cannot recall if it was PRR prototype.

Hi Pete

I guess PRR (I suppose you mean Pennsylvania Rail Road) was out of business before the era of well cars.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for answering my message.

For your infro, I have a book published by Morning Sun Books Inc. titled "PRR Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment" auther David R. Sweetland and Robert J. Yanosey.

This book has pictures of PRR well cars in it. If you can get your hands on one. There's a picture of a well cars on page 41. And the date next to the picture is Nov 1965.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for the information. I didn't know that well cars began that soon. I'll look for the book you mentioned.

Martin
