The P & H Steam Shovel Car No. 6827 was produced on a BLACK 6424-11, Die 4 car between 1960 and 1963. Equipped with AAR trucks and disc couplers, the shovel was lettered "QUALITY P & H SERVICE" near the side door. The shovel came in its own box that was numbered 6827-100 and was available for separate sale.

Issued later during the Modern Era by MPC, these shovels are sometimes substituted for this post war version. Collectors should use caution when purchasing this car. Also see: P & H Crane Car No. 6828. There are two variations:

Variation A: YELLOW cab for the shovel.

Variation B: DARK YELLOW cab for the shovel. A rarer variation.
