The large Southern Pacific is spelled out with red stenciling in the railroad’s classic bold font.  There is a yellow box on the side of the car that declares “Interior Treated For Edible Commodities” which indicates this is a food service car.  Don’t load it with sand or cement!  The models feature a see-through Apex-style running board, “Early-style” round roof hatches, body-mounted brake gear and Enterprise gravity outlet gates.  The B-end of the car features all of the brake details and piping of the prototype, including a gorgeous Ajax brake stand, Ajax brake wheel, Apex-style brake step, high-mounted retainer valve, wire piping details and a finely executed air release rod poking through the bottom sill on each side of the carbody.  If you look closely at that B-end, you will notice we even applied the correct box-style defect card holder for SP.  Metal corner stirrup steps and flexible rubber air hoses on each end of the car provide durability.  The model rides on Tangent’s 100-ton Barber S-2 Roller Bearing trucks with Timken rotating bearing caps – all of them simulated the painted trucks found on the prototype.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-gallery woocommerce-product-gallery--with-images woocommerce-product-gallery--columns-4 images\" data-columns=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eIn the early 1960s, railcar builders experimented with new covered hopper designs to help railroads move away from generic forty-foot box cars to special-duty bulk transport railcars. Pullman created the “PS-2” series of covered hoppers which included more than 20 individual designs that were larger in capacity with time, and the 3215\/3219 was the second “three bay” design produced. Pullman’s most significant innovation with the PS-2 designs was taking advantage of gravity, where lading was loaded through the round hatches on the roof, and unloaded via gravity from the bottom outlets. The PS-2 3215\/3219 design was produced between 1958-1962, and production ended after delivery of more than 1,400 cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
