Erie Lackawanna inherited the DL&W fleet in the 1960 merger as well as a fleet of broadly similar cars from Erie. Just over half the fleet would go on to wear this distinctive (if slightly odd) paint scheme. EL soldiered on until 1972 when Hurricane Agnes did significant damage to the EL lines in New York. The railroad continued to operate under bankruptcy protection until it was included in Conrail in 1976.

These ready-to-run cars will feature:

• diecast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly
• injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors
• fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines
• body mounted brake hose detail
• coal load
• lever-style hand brake
• body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers
• close coupling
• Fox Valley Models metal wheels

All road names will be available in multiple road numbers. For instance, order a single, a 2-pack and a 3-pack to get all six road numbers on a run. (Some road names will be available in just three road numbers.)
