This set, retailing for $44.98, represents one of the oldest toolings in the current Walthers
HO-scale freight car line. The X-29 Box Car tooling originates with the Train Miniature product line of the early 1970s.
Walthers acquired the Train Miniature toolings in 1984 and the cars soon became Walthers offerings. The X-29 Box Car,
a Pennsy prototype, is the only ex-Train Miniature car found in the Gold Line series currently. The 3-Pack provides
three roadnumbers and three variations of the Pennsy paint scheme.
