HO P3 PRR P5a Boxcab Electric #4716/Frt.Type DC/DCC Sound

The PRRs
class P5 comprised 92 mixed-traffic electric locomotives constructed
19311935 by the PRR, Westinghouse and General Electric. Although the
original intention was that they work passenger trains, the success of
the GG1 meant that the P5 class were mostly used on freight. A single
survivor, prototype #4700, is at the Museum of Transportation in St
Louis, Missouri.
The first P5s were built with box cabs. A grade crossing accident in
which the crew were killed led to the substitution of a streamlined
steeple type cab in later production, a design which was also applied
to the GG1.
Orders were placed for 90 production locomotives classified P5a due to
minor changes from the prototypes. Production was split between General
Electric and Westinghouse. The GE examples were assembled at GEs Erie,
Pennsylvania facility, still a locomotive assembly plant today–while
final assembly for the Westinghouse order was subcontracted to the
Baldwin Locomotive Works.
