Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9’ Door Boxcars

This is not just a single box car model, but instead a system of 3 different brand new carbodies to cover the 9′ door PS-1s as built by Pullman-Standard from 1950 through 1962. Tangent is pleased to introduce the industry’s first “high-detail” 40’ 9′ door box car model!

Now, for the models! The Tangent Scale Models PS-1 9-foot door boxcar will stand out on your layout just like the real cars did. Our models include incredible road-specific detailing, and we have produced three road-specific body shells. Each model includes see-through running boards, accurate door options, multiple hand brake options, wire brake piping, release rods, metal underbody-mount stirrup steps, and fine bracket grabs and ladders. Like all Tangent models, these cars come standard with HO scale’s most accurate colors and car stenciling. These models are finished with correct road-specific plain or roller bearing 50-ton trucks, representing a total of four all-new truck designs for our 40’ PS-1 system car replicas. Finally, our cars are weighted properly and are equipped with Kadee couplers which means they operate as good as they look.

A quick synopsis of our era and railroad-specific detail variations include:

• Dimensional accuracy – designed from Pullman-Standard plans

Chicago and North Western (C&NW) “Original 12-56” offers another classic box car scheme, this time the C&NW “brown” car with black ends. This beautiful car includes the sharp, large C&NW logo in black and white on the upper right carbody side. The left side of the car includes the CNW reporting marks with lines above and below them as found on these Pullman-Standard painted cars. Unlike the Southern cars above, these boxcars were built at Pullman-Standard’s Michigan City, IN plant and of course our car covers that correctly with the stenciling next to the door. These cars include the second version of the Superior 9’ door, with a different horizontal support pattern than the Southern car noted above. These cars have a black car cement roof, but the roof includes the typical Pullman carbody color overspray onto the top of it from the sides. This new model rides on an all-new truck for Tangent Scale Models, the 50-Ton ASF A-3 plain bearing truck. Our C&NW models are offered with your choice of 6 road numbers. And don’t forget – C&NW stenciled “Safety First” with yellow stenciling on the carbody side corners!
