Tangent Scale Models HO 25033-03 Greenville 86' Double Plug Door Box Car 'Original 1969' Union Pacific UP #980311

Union Pacific, UP, BF-90-5 ‘Delivery 1969’ represents two different UP lots of Greenville auto parts box cars, and this lot was the earlier of the two orders.  The prototypes were delivered with very large UP 1960s stencils – the largest ‘Union Pacific Railroad’ logo and ‘automated rail way’ and ‘Cushioned Load’ map logo that were recreated from of the original Union Pacific plans.  Additionally UP had a stencil that explicitly says ‘Auto Parts’ on the side plus return stencils of ‘When empty return to GTW RR Pontiac MICH.’  The underframe features accurate End-of-Car Cushioning details and this UP replica rides on accurate 100-Ton ‘Low Profile’ Barber S-2-C Roller Bearing Trucks with 36” wheels, rotating ‘Hyatt’ caps, truck mounted brake details and available in six different road numbers.

The Tangent Greenville 86’ High Cube Double Plug Door Box Car system is a state of the art, dimensionally-accurate scale replica that was tooled to Greenville Steel Car plans and verified with field measurements. Our model comes with highly accurate ‘true-to-life’ colors and ‘hyper-accurate’ lettering including exact stenciling, fonts, and lettering placement. Our Greenville 86’ system of models offers a multitude of detail variations and phases to replicate the many different Greenville Steel Car offerings.
