Tangent Scale Models HO 26017-02 Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9′ Door Boxcar Southern "Repaint 1958+" SOU #30601
Southern Railway (SOU) “Repaint” 1958+ is the first of three Southern Railway classic red repaint schemes released by Tangent in 2026 and as applied to these 1951/1952 built Pullman-Standard PS-1s. This 1958+ version of Southern has a large “SOUTHERN” and road number stencil applied to the left side of the car. This scheme has the feeling of a “modernized” version of the original delivery scheme that was applied to these cars by Pullman-Standard when they were built – minus the logo but plus the large lettering. These models have the early version of the Superior 9’ door, and Miner handbrake housings and wheels like the prototype did. These models ride on Tangent’s gorgeous Barber S-2 50-Ton plain bearing truck, complete with separate brake beam detail.
Model Features:
- Truck: Tangent Barber S-2 50-Ton plain bearing

Prototype History:
Pullman-Standard’s PS-1 box car line evolved to feature a variety of different door combinations in order to satisfy customer requests for “purpose-built” box cars. Across the transition and early diesel eras, between 1951 and 1962, Pullman-Standard built 9-foot door, 40-foot long PS-1s for several railroads. Each railroad specified different doors and other appliances, and as production progressed the exterior sill and end arrangements changed. Railroads purchased the 9-foot door cars for various services, including forest products, machinery, appliances, paper, and merchandise, where the large 9-foot door opening made loading with forklifts significantly easier. These cars wandered all over the North American rail network into the late 1980s.
