The L\u0026amp;N graphics are carefully duplicated on the car, from the slanted “L\u0026amp;N” reporting marks and three-inch “Roman” style capacity data, down to the one-inch Pullman data.  These L\u0026amp;N cars differ from the other 2929s that we offer because they have 5 pairs of roof hatches with \u003cu\u003estaggered\u003c\/u\u003e spacing, as opposed to the “standard” evenly-spaced hatches common to the other 2929s of the era.  But don’t worry — we have tooled this L\u0026amp;N-specific roof to execute this model correctly.  And if you look closely at the prototype and model photos, you will see we didn’t stop there.  The L\u0026amp;N 2929's also feature truck-mounted brake gear.  This translates to the B-end missing the brake cylinder (instead there are small brake cylinders on each truck brake beam) and a fine brake air line visible, hanging down from the underframe between the bays (instead of pipe linkage and the automatic slack adjuster).  The B-end of the car has more L\u0026amp;N-specific details like a beautiful Klasing 1700 power brake, separate short handle, modern brake wheel, Cobra brake shoe holder and a small brake badge above the defect card holder.  This L\u0026amp;N replica rides on 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with Timken rotating bearing caps and the three bays are equipped with Enterprise discharge gates.  Metal corner stirrup steps and flexible rubber air hoses on each end of the car provide durability.  These models are available with October 1963-specific paint dates.  Commodities carried included feed and cement.  It isn’t often that you get an L\u0026amp;N-specific railcar.\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\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;
