Pullman-Standard PS-1 40ft Mini-Hy Cube Boxcars

BN Cascade Green Repaint 1975+ looks back to the 1970s Burlington Northern and the repainting of some of the Ex-Q Mini-Hy Cubes. These two BN 1975 SKUs model individual cars repainted at the ex-CB&Q Havelock Car Shop in Nebraska. One of the neat things about repaint schemes is that they are all just a little different – and Tangent Scale Models have duplicated the differing placement of individual lettering elements based on real photos. These Tangent models feature accurate draft gear with the large weldments on the side along with 70-Ton Barber S-2 Roller-bearing trucks with rotating Timken caps. Available in 2 new numbers for 2023!

NP Delivery Green 1967 is back with 3 rerun numbers and 3 new numbers for 2023! This offering sold out a little too quickly way back in 2016, and we promised a rerun. The NP scheme is big on this car, with the tall NP letters and Monad. The roof is correctly painted black, and the model features 70-Ton Barber S-2 Roller-bearing trucks with rotating Timken caps. The NP’s entire fleet of cars were assigned to the IC at Kankakee, IL for loading of water heaters at A.O. Smith’s Permaglas Division. Everyone knows the NP’s North Coast Limited was “…one of the world’s Extra-Fine trains…” but we would like to think any train with one of Tangent’s NP Mini-Hy cubes is “Extra Fine” in its own special way. Do not miss out on a rare second chance at a hot scheme. Available in 3 re-run numbers (SKUs -01, -02, -03) and 3 new numbers (-04, -05, -06)

D&RGW Brown Delivery 11-1967 brings back a popular roadname offering for the Tangent Mini-Hy Cube line. This Rio Grande group of cars was assigned to Whirlpool service on the Erie Lackawanna in Marion, Ohio. This scheme is sharp, from the large “Rio Grande the ACTION road” stacked graphics, down to the smallest Pullman-Standard builder data and Lot number. The cars also have black ends, adding an extra little bit of class. The models feature 70-Ton Barber S-2 Roller-bearing trucks with rotating Timken caps. Tangent Scale Models are pleased to offer two new, accurate road numbers for 2023. 

CB&Q Chinese Red Delivery 11-1967 is lettered for the largest owner of the P-S Mini-Hy Cube design. The CB&Q received two orders 1967, totaling 50 cars. The cars are rather striking in the Q’s red, which featured prominent markings for “Hydraulic Cushioning.” These Tangent models feature accurate draft gear with the large weldments on the side along with 70-Ton Barber S-2 Roller-bearing trucks with rotating Brenco-6 caps. These two new CB&Q car numbers for 2023 also feature a new Whirlpool-service return route: NYC RR, St. Joseph Michigan. Available in 2 new numbers for 2023!

The Tangent Scale Models HO scale PS-1 “Mini-Hy Cube” Boxcar replica features a prototypical “slight peak” roof, separate underframe brake components with wire piping, narrow ladders and sill steps, and “see-through” crossover platforms.  These replicas include the “near-scale” draft gear that has been standard on all recent Tangent releases, which includes the “side key” detail with Kadee all-metal couplers.  Detailed “trombone style” coupler lift bars are also present on Tangent Scale Models replicas with one of two styles to match the prototype.  Finally, the models are equipped with the correct Tangent Barber S-2-A 70-ton roller bearing trucks and 33” CNC-machined wheelsets, so Tangent Scale Models look as good as they operate.  These small yet tall models are sure to be stunners on your layout!
