Tangent HO 60′ Thrall Double Plug Door Box Car Union Pacific “Red Repaint 2005+”

Description

Railroad Short Name: UP

Union Pacific UP “Red Repaint BF-90-3 2005+” provides a contemporary “conspicuity era” paint example for the modern guys.  The UP’s fleet of 54 cars served long lives that included repaint schemes.  This Tangent model features UP’s oxide red freight car color and conspicuity striping for 2005+ era accuracy.  The UP cars are equipped with Keystone End-Of-Car Cushioning and related coupler centering devices.  For those who are paying attention, this also translates to a completely different underframe appliances and hardware layout.  The doors feature single Auxiliary Top Crank arms, correct for this era.  These cars are lettered with lots of little data including the familiar yellow conspicuity striping for grade crossing visibility.  Check out that accurate Ajax brake stand and modern brake wheel!  These beauties roll on Tangent 100-Ton Barber S-2 trucks and are equipped with rotating Timken caps.
