Tangent Scale Models HO 26018-01 Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9′ Door Boxcar Southern "Serves the South Repaint 1962+" SOU #31766
Southern Railway (SOU) “Serves the South Repaint” 1962+ is the second 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 1962+ version of Southern has large “SOUTHERN” stenciling applied to the left side of the car, plus a large road number. The right side of the car includes a large “SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH” stencil applied across three indented lines, which is eye-catching and shows some playful iteration away from the “plain” logo only Southern scheme from the early 1950s. 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.

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.
