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!

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)
