Tangent Scale Models HO 23010-09 SP Sacramento Shops Rebuilt 40-Foot Box Car With 10-Foot Doors 'Southern Pacific Brown Repaint 1965+' SP #177824
Southern Pacific Brown Repaint 1965+ replicates cars rebuilt by the SP’s Sacramento, CA shops between 1963 and 1966. This particular example was released in 1965, so it retained its roof running board and high ladders/brake appliances. The details on the car include a gorgeous 10’ Youngstown door, an Apex style running board and brake step, 8-rung side and end ladders, an accurate Equipco handbrake housing, and a beautiful Equipco brake wheel. Check out those 50-Ton ASF A-3 Ride Control trucks with separately applied brake beams. The cars were released in the classic Southern Pacific brown paint scheme with white graphics and a diagonal yellow stripe across the door. If you look closely, you will notice a mix of SP Roman-style capacity data and sans serif-style dimensional data, both accurate for this era. These cars have such a distinctive look, with the reinforced angled side sill. Oh, and did we mention the genuine Kadee scale couplers and flexible rubber air hoses?
Model Features:
Never-before produced in HO model form, the Tangent Scale Models 'Yellow Stripers' come in two different assembly versions, and both lasted into the 1980s. The first version replicates the cars rebuilt during the 1963-1966 program, which includes original ends and running boards, and brake appliances and ladders mounted in their original 1950s location. The second version replicates the cars rebuilt after 1967, where the running board was removed and features lowered brake appliances, ladders and replacement 'banana-tapered' dreadnaught ends.
