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.
