Model Railroading > Atlas 50' Plug Door box car PC?

Atlas offered a 50' plug door box car in Penn Central green numbered 153539. I've done some searching on RailCarPhoto's and FallenFlags but could not turn up any photo's matching that model? But I didn't find any photo's that may have fallen in the road number series either. Anyone know?

The 153539 would be a ex PRR X-53. Series was 153525 to 153824. They were a 50' plug door car . That very number is in the PC color guide book so that's where Atlas got the number and info. The 153539 was a X-53a which had a insulated floor. It was considered a general service car. ---- Ken

So it's a match then?

I couldn't find any photo's to visually compare the models. I don't have the PC color guide however - it would be handy to have. I only have the Rio Grande Color Guide.
