– CNW “Delivery Green” 3-1981 gives the patient C&NW modelers, who want their “large jacking pad cars,” some Tangent Love. (Yes, the world does need more accurate C&NW covered hoppers!) C&NW rostered several late groups of Pullman 4750s, and Tangent Scale Models chose the 800-car order from lot 1164 for this release. This all-new Tangent 4750 body shell features Pullman 1981 details like the thick sill protrusion over the bolsters, “closed-hole” side posts, bolted outlet bay flanges and C&NW-specific vertical extensions under the jacking pads and above the trucks. This is group of cars have been requested by C&NW fans since Tangent Scale Models introduced their Pullman 4750 in 2013, and they wanted to do it right – and that means all-new body tooling! You will notice the differing yellows on the side reporting marks versus the small data. This mimics the prototype. Check out those new Stucki HS-7 Snubber-equipped 100-ton trucks! That yellow-painted snubber detail is a neat highlight. Tangent Scale Models chose C&NW numbers from the March 1981 group of cars, with SKUs -01 through -12 equipped with Gravac Combo Gravity/Pneumatic outlet gates, and SKUs 13-24 featuring Miner gravity outlet gates. Yes, Tangent Scale Models are offering 24 numbers of C&NW Covered Hopper nirvana. Stay away from foobie 4750s!  Sorry if this release “drains you.”
