Tangent Scale Models HO 26020-02 Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9′ Door Boxcar Green Bay and Western "Yellow Repaint 1963+" GBW #937
Green Bay & Western (GBW) “Yellow Repaint” 1963+ brings an updated version of the PS-1s that we offered in our first production. These are the signature 1963 era repaints that GB&W shops produced, where they repainted the classy yellow paint with a federal yellow color, and by painting the entire car in yellow – including the sides, ends, and roof! GB&W’s yellow paint looks great on these 9’ door cars, especially because they also added the football-shaped “Home of the Packers” logo to the car. Great for the GB&W modelers, and even for Chicago Bears fans, since these cars were seen in Chicago as well as pretty much everywhere else – hauling paper from Biron, Wisconsin! In fact, these cars are assigned cars, as identified with the stenciling “ASSIGNED FOR PAPER LOADING AT BIRON, WISCONSIN” and a “WHEN EMPTY RETURN TO THE GREEN BAY AND WESTERN R.R.” notation, typical for assigned cars of the period. The right side of the car includes the large “Green Bay and Western” letters and the left side includes the distinctive “Green Bay Route” logo with white lettering and red background. Our GB&W models come complete with an accurate 9’ Pullman-Standard door. This new model rides on the market-leading Tangent 50-Ton ASF A-3 Ride Control Roller Bearing truck – with rotating “Timken” bearing caps!

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.
