We see you, patient N\u0026amp;W fans.  The N\u0026amp;W ordered 21 cars and these were among the first Greenville 86’ Quad Door box cars built.  The Pevler blue paint and hamburger logo look great on this big car.  The “NORFOLK \u0026amp; WESTERN” graphics are distinctive and accurate for this order of Greenville cars.  (Compare the lettering style to Tangent’s recent N\u0026amp;W Blue Thrall 60’ boxcars!)  Greenville just had their own style and way of doing things!  This 1969-built Greenville group features accurate End-of-Car Cushioning details, Gypsum crossover platforms and truck mounted brake hardware.  This N\u0026amp;W B-123 class rides on 100-Ton Barber Low Profile S-2-C Trucks, with 36” wheels and accurate rotating “Timken” roller bearing caps.  These cars were part of the GM Indianapolis, Indiana Stamping Plant pool, with a return-when-empty stencil the Indianapolis Union Railway.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eA quick synopsis of our era and railroad-specific detail variations include:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Dimensional accuracy – designed from actual Greenville blueprints and verified with field measurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Highly correct “true to life” colors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• “Hyper-Accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Body shells with overlapping side panels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• EOCC (end of car cushioning) or COCC (center of car cushioning) “near scale” draft gear variations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Genuine Kadee scale couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Separate flexible rubber air hoses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Under car brake system variations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• “See through” etched metal end crossover platforms in three possible options: Gypsum, Apex, or Morton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Side tack board types\/sizes and locations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Twelve (!) prototypically-accurate brake stands (Ajax, 2 Universal versions, 2 Equipco versions, 2 Miner versions, Champion-Peacock, 2 Elcon-National versions, Peacock 850, Klasing 1150)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Two possible handbrake “brake wheel” options\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Optional 3rd door arm hinge parts to be configured one of three ways\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• 70-Ton Barber S-2 “Birdsboro foundry” or 100-Ton Barber S-2-C roller bearing truck options\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• 33” or 36” wheels, as applicable to these 70T\/100T models\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Truck brake beam part, accurate for these 1969-1970 built Greenville production cars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Three “rotating” roller bearing truck cap options\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e• Recommended age 14 years and older\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eDuring the 1960s, the most radical freight car designs employed the extreme height clearances offered by Plate F car designs. In 1964, no car type articulated this extreme more than the 86-foot, purpose-built “Auto Parts” boxcars. They became fixtures on the rails all over North American mainlines, riding hot trains to deliver components vital to the productivity of auto plants. While several car builders offered 86’ auto parts boxcars, the most prolific builder was Greenville Steel Car Company of Greenville PA. Greenville produced their Quad Door design in the 1969-1970 period to meet the expanding needs of GM and Oldsmobile production facilities. Like the Double Door cars, these Quad Door cars were acquired by many railroads, and they were assigned to pools where cars from multiple railroads served a specific shipper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur September 2024 release includes six new paint schemes.  \u003c\/span\u003eWe have been getting a lot of requests for additional GM Greenville 86’ Quad Door box cars, so we are very pleased to release these new paint schemes. Keep in mind that these were pooled boxcars which means you might consider buying cars in a variety of road names. These cars get around — For example: Prototype photos show B\u0026amp;O cars passing through Warm Springs, CA and Ontario Canada, a UP car on the TRRA St. Louis, MO Riverfront Wharf Street trackage, an N\u0026amp;W car in Kansas City, MO, a CN car in Texas, and DTS cars everywhere (Birmingham MI, Buffalo NY, Chicago IL, Erie PA, Toledo OH, Winchester IN… you get the idea)! We have photos to prove it all. And these are just a few snapshots. GM and Oldsmobile auto parts pools provide many interesting modeling opportunities for stampings and parts distribution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tangent HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320203915417,"sku":"TSM25525-06","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/1725815894.1280.1280__13821.1725815940.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784156871","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/tangent-scale-models-ho-25525-06-greenville-86-quad-plug-door-box-car-norfolk-western-delivery-12-1969-blue-n-w-861137","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
