Tangent Scale Models HO 23120-07 Pullman-Standard Southern Pacific Lines Postwar 40’6” Box Car w/ 7′ Door Southern Pacific Brown B-50-28 'Delivery 1950+' SP #102272

Southern Pacific 'SP' Brown B-50-28 Delivery 1950+ replicates the original Southern Pacific scheme as applied when these cars were new in 1950. It features the horizontal Southern Pacific Roman-style stenciling, plus the iconic 'Southern Pacific Lines' logo painted in black. The details on the car include a Youngstown door, Apex running board and brake step, 8 rung side and end ladders, an accurate Universal handbrake housing, and a Miner handbrake. Our Southern Pacific original paint replicas are available – and keep in mind this was SP’s most prolific 40’ box car type.

  • Truck: Tangent ASF 50-ton A-3 Ride Control trucks
  • Wheels: 33” wheels, with front and back detail and accurate tapered axles

After World War II, Southern Pacific and subsidiary railroads SSW and T&NO embarked on an aggressive program to upgrade their aging 40-foot box car fleet to move lumber, paper, and other products. While other railroads were buying 'modernized' boxcars, such as the infamous welded 'PS-1s', SP and its subsidiaries purchased a massive fleet of more than 19,000 new boxcars. These cars were different: they were riveted, and had 10’0” inside height instead of 10’6” inside height. While SP and subsidiaries initially ordered cars with 6-foot door openings, they settled on larger 7-foot door openings, built by Pullman-Standard, for the majority of the fleet. No layout is complete without these unique postwar 7-foot door boxcars, including railroads far from SP lines. While groups of these cars were rebuilt, repainted and restenciled over the years, examples remained in their as-built appearance, although repainted, through the 1970s.

These prototypes operated all over the USA, Canada, and Mexico from their origins in the early 1950s until the late 1970s.
