Description
Never-before produced in HO model form, the Tangent Scale Models “Yellow Stripers” come in two different assembly versions, and both lasted into the 1980s. The first version replicates the cars rebuilt during the 1963-1966 program, which includes original ends and running boards, and brake appliances and ladders mounted in their original 1950s location. The second version replicates the cars rebuilt after 1967, where the running board was removed and features lowered brake appliances, ladders and replacement “banana-tapered” dreadnaught ends. Our boxcars include “near-scale” draft sill with beautifully-rendered side “key” detail, plus correct ASF 50-ton ASF A-3 Ride Control trucks. Finally, our scale replicas operate as well as they look, equipped with free-rolling CNC-machined wheels and Kadee® scale couplers, meaning our models are truly ready-to-run.
