Tangent ~ HO Scale ~ Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe #36565 ~ “Quality Repaint 1992+” Greenville 86′ Double Plug Door Box Car ~ 25044-03

Santa Fe (ATSF) “Quality Repaint 1992+”offers an example of ATSF cars that were repainted in the railroad’s “Quality” scheme in 1992.  These models feature accurate Freightmaster End-of-Car Cushioning details, including the centering handles mechanism under the coupler.  In this era, the Santa Fe cars have the “third crank arms” on each of those big plug doors, a detail we have faithfully replicated on the model.  The model is equipped with Tangent 100-Ton “Low profile” Barber S-2-A trucks, 36” wheels and “Timken” rotating caps.  If you look carefully, you will notice the accurate brake beams with truck-mounted brake cylinders.  This replicates the truck-mounted brake features of the prototype cars.  We are offering six road numbers in this 1992 ATSF release:  SKUs -01, -02, -03 have accurate February, 1992 Topeka Shops applied data, while SKUs -04, -05, -06 have a variation of Topeka data applied in August 1992, with slightly different side, end and door locations.  We even changed the tack board locations to follow prototype photos.  Variety is a wonderful thing for your Tangent fleet of cars.  And don’t forget to check out our prototype photos on our website.  We back up our Industry-leading artwork with real prototype photos!
