This group of PS 2929 cars is pulled from the ex-ACL series and features record-specific CSX Raceland Shops repaint dates and data.  The models feature correct ex-ACL roof details like a see-through Apex-style running board and evenly-spaced round roof hatches.  In this era, the retainer valve has been moved to a lower location, a feature carefully duplicated on the models.  The gravity outlet gates are specific for CSX and are a replacement style with locking bar mechanisms.  The prototype CSX repaints maintained the distinctive ex-ACL 100-Ton trucks with the retaining bolts detail.  The B-end of the car features all of the brake details and piping of the prototype, including a gorgeous Ajax brake stand, modern brake wheel, Morton-style brake step, wire piping details and a finely executed air release rod poking through the bottom sill on each side of the carbody.  Metal corner stirrup steps and flexible rubber air hoses on each end of the car provide durability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThese cars are available in 12 numbers, with four possible months of repaint dates:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e2 from February 1989 (SKUs -03, -06)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e4 from March 1989 (SKUs -04, -05, -08, -09)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e4 from April 1989 (SKUs -02, -07, -11, -12)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e2 from May 1989 (SKUs -01, -10)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eIt’s time to haul phosphate!\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\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-gallery woocommerce-product-gallery--with-images woocommerce-product-gallery--columns-4 images\" data-columns=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/strong\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, some of which were “generic” hoppers for grains, while others were more specialized. Possibly the best example of a specialized design was the PS-2 2929, which was designed specifically for phosphates from the Southeast. Similar to the PS-2 2893, the “three bay” 2929 looks different for several reasons, including having side posts consistently applied along the entire car side. The 2929 design had three primary design iterations with a total of more than 4,000 cars produced.  The Tangent models replicate the high-brakewheel, 100-Ton cars produced for ACL, CRR, L\u0026amp;N, and NS in the 1963-1966 period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
