HO P3 NYC P5a Boxcab Electric #344/Lightning Strip/DC/DCC So

The PRRsclass P5 comprised 92 mixed-traffic electric locomotives constructed19311935 by the PRR, Westinghouse and General Electric. Although theoriginal intention was that they work passenger trains, the success ofthe GG1 meant that the P5 class were mostly used on freight. A singlesurvivor, prototype #4700, is at the Museum of Transportation in StLouis, Missouri.The first P5s were built with box cabs. A grade crossing accident inwhich the crew were killed led to the substitution of a streamlinedsteeple type cab in later production, a design which was also appliedto the GG1.Orders were placed for 90 production locomotives classified P5a due tominor changes from the prototypes. Production was split between GeneralElectric and Westinghouse. The GE examples were assembled at GEs Erie,Pennsylvania facility, still a locomotive assembly plant today–whilefinal assembly for the Westinghouse order was subcontracted to theBaldwin Locomotive Works.
