Tangent Scale Models HO 26023-04 Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9′ Door Boxcar Louisville and Nashville "Delivery 12-1956" L&N #8993
Louisville & Nashville (L&N) “Delivery 12-1956” is a delivery scheme car that Pullman-Standard created for L&N in 1956. This is a “brown” car all around – on ends and roof. This beautiful car includes the sharp and carefully-recreated “The Old Reliable” logo in script on the right side of the car, along with the Louisville & Nashville roadname stenciling. The left side of the car includes the L&N reporting marks with road number. These boxcars were built at Pullman-Standard’s Michigan City, IN plant and of course our car covers that correctly with the “TENTH ANNIVERSARY 1956” PS-1 stenciling next to the door. These cars include the second version of the Superior 9’ door. This new model rides on the Tangent 50-Ton ASF A-3 plain bearing truck.

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.
