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!

MILW Brown Delivery DF2 1-1968 shows off a great Milwaukee Road brown box car scheme, as applied by Pullman-Standard. The large Bold “Milwaukee Road” proudly displays the owner of this car that was built to take care of its appliance loads. The large DF2 stencils on the doors boldly advertise the use of Evans DF2 belt rails to help secure shipments. The “star” next to the Load Limit stencil points out MILW’s use of a softer truck spring package. By reducing the spring group, the car allowed a softer ride for the appliances inside. The star denotes this lower-than-expected LD LMT to make sure shippers didn’t overload the car. One thing is for sure: the Milwaukee Road wanted those appliances to arrive damage-free. Tangent Scale Models are offering two new numbers for 2023, both assigned to Whirlpool appliance loading on the NYC in Evansville, IN.
