Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9’ Door Boxcars

This is not just a single box car model, but instead a system of 3 different brand new carbodies to cover the 9′ door PS-1s as built by Pullman-Standard from 1950 through 1962. Tangent is pleased to introduce the industry’s first “high-detail” 40’ 9′ door box car model!

Now, for the models! The Tangent Scale Models PS-1 9-foot door boxcar will stand out on your layout just like the real cars did. Our models include incredible road-specific detailing, and we have produced three road-specific body shells. Each model includes see-through running boards, accurate door options, multiple hand brake options, wire brake piping, release rods, metal underbody-mount stirrup steps, and fine bracket grabs and ladders. Like all Tangent models, these cars come standard with HO scale’s most accurate colors and car stenciling. These models are finished with correct road-specific plain or roller bearing 50-ton trucks, representing a total of four all-new truck designs for our 40’ PS-1 system car replicas. Finally, our cars are weighted properly and are equipped with Kadee couplers which means they operate as good as they look.

Milwaukee Road (MILW) “Original 3-1961” illustrates our newest exact replica for the Milwaukee Road modeler. Delivered in Milwaukee Road’s standard box car red color, the 9’ door PS-1 was a large example fleet car utilized for many different services, similar to the “ribside” fleet but more useful in the 1960s and onward due to the larger door arrangement. This portion of the Milwaukee Road car order had Camel/Youngstown 9’ sliding doors on them, which we represent beautifully with our models. These cars have Ajax handbrakes and wheels on them. The Milwaukee Road PS-1 9’ door cars include the large, classic “Milwaukee Road” stenciled herald in white on the left side of the car, with the Milwaukee Road herald located on the right side of the car. The roof was left unpainted (galvanized) but includes red overspray, just like the prototype did. This new model rides on another all-new truck for Tangent Scale Models, the 50-Ton Barber S-2 Roller Bearing truck – with rotating “Timken” bearing caps! Our Milwaukee Road model is offered with 12 road numbers.
