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!

– ICG Orange Error Repaint 1977+ replicates a single ICG Mini-Hy Cube box car with a unique paint job. This car was repainted in 1977 by the ex-IC McComb, Mississippi Car Shop. The model features 18” stacked “ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF” lettering and a condensed “CUSHION UNDERFRAME” tucked in after the word GULF. The now-standard ICG “I-Ball” logo has replaced the IC “Split Rail” on the right side of the car. The only problem?  McComb shops mis-numbered the box car, with the application of the 468509 digits. (The correct series is 480050-480079.) This ICG one-of-a-kind paint job has an orange over-spray roof, along with accurate draft gear with a smaller key slot opening on the side and 70-Ton Barber S-2 Roller-bearing trucks with rotating Timken caps.
