Tangent Scale Models HO 24210-01 Pullman-Standard PS 3526 100T Triple Coal Hopper Southern Railway 'Brown Delivery 1975+' SOU #78800

Southern ‘SOU’ Brown Delivery 1975+ PS3600 represents one of many Pullman-Standard freight car purchases made by the Southern Railway in the 1970s. The Southern PS3600 coal hoppers were delivered in the typical red paint with SOUTHERN spelled out on the side. The stenciling does not end there though – there is a significant amount of stenciling on these cars, plus of course an accurate ACI label. These cars also have ‘SOUTHERN’ and road number stenciling applied to the underframe. If you look closely, you will notice that, YES, we tooled up a Southern body version that features the Southern-specific ‘open style’ ends and SC-1 Empty-Load Brake Equipment details. Check out those details, with a parallel-mounted air reservoir and additional piping for the SC-1 Equalizing Reservoir. The PS3600 cubic foot hoppers purchased by Southern had low-mount handbrake housings, a distinction from the Pullman-Standard Chessie / B&O prototypes. The handbrake is an accurate Universal-style brake housing and brake wheel to finish off this Southern replica. We offer this scheme in 24 all-new road numbers so you can model a unit train or mix and match with your other hoppers. Also, don’t forget to match our models up with your Tangent Southern quad door auto parts cars, in stock at Tangent and at stores.
