Conrail (CR) Ex-PRR X60C Patch 1976+ can trace its heritage back to the 1964-built PRR X60C class. It represents one of the former PRR-painted cars that has been quickly banditized with Conrail reporting marks and road numbers, a common practice in the early years of Conrail. These banditized stencils were applied to a subset of the car fleet, and they always make very interesting models and weathering projects. These cars feature the remnants of the grab irons on the sides and ends of the model, as well as the roof details of a car that had a running-board at one time. These replicas are all about the little details, from the lowered Miner handbrake, to the CR door inspection data to the replacement Morton cross over platforms.
