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!

– CB&Q Chinese Red BN Era 1982+ models another BN family car later in its life. It’s 1982, and the CB&Q paint job is still hard at work, although it has received various patches and touch-ups over the years. By the 1980s, the BN’s fleet of Mini-Hy Cube cars were being pushed out of appliance service and were seeing second lives in revenue paper loading and BN company services. This particular car was chosen from prototype photos and features updated COTS stencils, U-1 Wheel inspection dots, CB&Q truck lettering and other various patches. Tangent Scale Models even duplicated the hand-drawn “BLT 11-67” data, reapplied to one side of the car. (It was in the photo!) The roof is silver, to mimic the galvanized roof and its long-gone paint. All you have to do is supply some weathering!
