Check out the ‘thinner’ style CR logos, PC\/CR style data stencils, and era appropriate ACI and PC\/CR style double COTS. The early CR cars maintained their hoods for protection of the coil shipments. If you want to model the car later in their service lives, don’t panic: The hoods are removable. The interior troughs have all of that loading and identification data, too. The ends feature the original shorter style coupler lift bar brackets and Morton style crossover platforms. The 125-Ton trucks feature rotating Timken caps, 38” wheels and accurate brake beams with truck mounted brake details.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eA quick synopsis of our era and railroad-specific detail variations include:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Dimensional accuracy – designed from actual PRR G41A blueprints\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Highly correct ‘true to life’ colors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• ‘Hyper-Accurate’ lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Genuine Kadee scale couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• ‘Near-scale’ draft gear box with beautifully-rendered Cushion Draft gear ‘flare’ detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• ‘See through’ crossover platforms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Precision Stanray ends and roof matching these prototypes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Center-of-Car Cushion underframe layout and design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Road-specific details for each scheme including 3 different trough bodies, brakewheel housing options, coupler lift bar bracket options, 2 different crossover platform combinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Beautiful details – wire grab irons and highly detailed coupler lift bars – no ‘molded in’ plastic grab irons here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Durable rubber air hoses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Strong metal stirrup steps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Our precision Tangent Scale Models 125-ton ASF trucks with rotating bearing caps and separate brake beam part\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• CNC-machined 38” wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Weighted over the NMRA-recommended weight so they can operate well when empty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Multiple road numbers for each scheme\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Multiple accurate coil size options available separately for prototype load modeling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Recommended age 14 years and older\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAs hot rolled coil steel production accelerated during the 1960s, the railroads needed to provide railcars to secure outbound loads of this 'hot' commodity. PRR’s Samuel Rea shops answered the market call with a customized railcar: PRR introduced the G41 coil steel gondola in 1965 but quickly made modifications to the design, and produced the G41A from 1966 to 1968. The G41A was a gondola design with 6 transverse troughs of varying sizes, designed to handle different loading combinations and coil roll diameters. G41As initially included specialized coil hoods that protected the loads. The G41A fleet saw modifications from Conrail in the 1990s, notably the removal of walkway supports and hood alignment guides. In 2000, NS heavily rebuilt these cars from 6 to 5 internal troughs to accommodate larger diameter coils common for the era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Tangent Scale Models PRR Samuel Rea Shops G41A Coil Steel Gondola accurately replicates the prototype’s distinctive 39’ body and extended draft gear. We have tooled three specific build variations: PRR delivery with removable coil hoods, Conrail 1990s modifications, and NS (post-Conrail) 2000 rebuilds. These cars come with incredible detailing including crossover platform and power brake variations, coupler lift bar variations, wire brake piping, separate metal stirrup steps, durable wire grab irons, and 'near-scale' draft gear. We include coil hoods where era-appropriate. These cars come standard with HO scale’s most accurate colors and car stenciling, and ride on one of two all-new 125-Ton ASF Gould Foundry Roller Bearing trucks: with or without the PC-era coil damper detail (both with 38” wheels). Finally, our replicas are weighted properly and are equipped with Kadee couplers which means they operate as good as they look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tangent HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48319812632729,"sku":"TSM27012-01","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/27012-07-3.4-1200-logo__47602.1663180408.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784147752","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/tangent-scale-models-ho-27012-01-prr-samuel-rea-shops-g41a-coil-car-g41a-repaint-1976-w-hoods-conrail-cr-622937","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
