Prototype History:

The Pennsylvania Railroad’s class F30A flat cars were one of the most numerous classes of flat cars on that railroad with 1500 being built between 1933 and1934. The cars were so successful that the PRR built another 250 nearly identical copies in 1951, classified as F30D.

F30A 50' MOW Flats and Camp Cars

Conrail (and other railroads) mounted pre-fabricated “RVstyle” van on flat cars to house tack workers. Several common styles of van were built to serve the various needs of the work crews. Sleeping quarters were most common, but office and dining configurations were common sights in most work trains. These “Camp Trains” were common sights on Conrail and still on Norfolk Southern. Rapido’s camp cars are available in four different body styles: sleeper, diner, kitchen and office. In addition to vans mounted on F30A flat cars we offer each style van separately. They are perfect offices for yards, engine terminals, construction sites, in fact, all sorts of applications! Separate vans are painted in appropriate colors but are unlettered.
