The Tangent Scale Models HO scale PS-1 “Mini-Hy Cube” Boxcar replica features a prototypical “slight peak” roof, separate underframe brake components with wire piping, narrow ladders and sill steps, and “see-through” crossover platforms.  These replicas include the “near-scale” draft gear that has been standard on all recent Tangent releases, which includes the “side key” detail with Kadee all-metal couplers.  Detailed “trombone style” coupler lift bars are also present on Tangent Scale Models replicas with one of two styles to match the prototype.  Finally, the models are equipped with the correct Tangent Barber S-2-A 70-ton roller bearing trucks and 33” CNC-machined wheelsets, so Tangent Scale Models look as good as they operate.  These small yet tall models are sure to be stunners on your layout!

D&RGW Brown Delivery 11-1967 brings back a popular roadname offering for the Tangent Mini-Hy Cube line. This Rio Grande group of cars was assigned to Whirlpool service on the Erie Lackawanna in Marion, Ohio. This scheme is sharp, from the large “Rio Grande the ACTION road” stacked graphics, down to the smallest Pullman-Standard builder data and Lot number. The cars also have black ends, adding an extra little bit of class. The models feature 70-Ton Barber S-2 Roller-bearing trucks with rotating Timken caps. Tangent Scale Models are pleased to offer two new, accurate road numbers for 2023.
