Tangent Scale Models HO 26032-09 Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9′ Door Boxcar Milwaukee Road "Delivery 3-1961" w/ Superior Door MILW #30130
Milwaukee Road (MILW) “Delivery 3-61” w/ Superior Door illustrates our newest exact replica for the Milwaukee Road modeler. Delivered in Milwaukee Road’s standard box car red color, the 9’ door PS-1 was a large example fleet car utilized for many different services, similar to the “ribside” fleet but more useful in the 1960s and onward due to the larger door arrangement. This portion of the Milwaukee Road car order had Superior 9’ sliding doors on them, which we represent accurately with our models. Please note: this car looks different from the cars we released in 2021, since the door is completely different – changing the car’s overall appearance! These cars have Ajax handbrakes and brakewheels installed. The Milwaukee Road PS-1 9’ door cars include the large, classic “Milwaukee Road” stenciled herald in white on the left side of the car, with the Milwaukee Road herald located on the right side of the car. The roof was left unpainted (galvanized) but includes red overspray, just like the prototype did. This new model rides on the Tangent Scale Models 50-Ton Barber S-2 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.
