-Operating diaphragms, trucks, mounting screws and a metal weight
-Accessories including roof vents and stacks, brake reservoirs and valves, water
tanks, generator, 5 types of battery boxes, and 5 air conditioning systems all of
which can be easily positioned per the prototype
-Instructions to help recognize and place underframe components on the cars

During the 1930s and the early 1940s, the PRR modernized a portion of its successful P70 fleet. Most of these cars emerged from the shops with modern streamlined features
included arched roofs, full width diaphrams, and skirting. The P70gsR was first introduced in 1939, rebuilt with narrow windows. They immediately went into service on all coach Blue Ribbon trains like the "Trail Blazer"
. Late in 1941, 50 additional P70gsR coaches were built. While the floorplan remained unchanged, this second
(and last) order was built with large picture windows that improved the view for the patrons. The P70gsR was used into the 1960s.
