Model Railroading > NEW: Tangent Scale Models PS-2CD 4750 PTLX Schemes

Tangent Scale Models is pleased to announce our next release of HO Scale Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4750 covered hoppers. The PS4750 was the largest production covered hopper design in history, and is therefore statistically important to virtually all modelers from the 1970s to the present.

The Tangent PS4750 is a state of the art, dimensionally-accurate scale replica with highly accurate “true-to-life” colors and precise letter stencils. Our PS4750 offers a multitude of detail variations and phases to replicate the Pullman-Standard offerings. Example variations include: brake systems, outlet gates, roofs, roof hatches, roof overhangs, running boards, crossover platforms, end ladders, jacking pads, brakewheel housings, and brakewheels. This replica includes our fine “near-scale” draft gear box with beautifully-rendered side “key” detail. Our ready-to-operate replica is finished with coupler lift bars accompanying Kadee® scale couplers and sufficient hidden weights to ensure the model operates as good as it looks. At more than 100 parts per car, not to mention phase accurate details, genuine Kadee couplers, and all-metal wheels, we provide you with a high-value model that will provide you with years of enjoyment.

This is NOT a pre-order announcement. Our NEW Ready to Run replicas are available now at www.tangentscalemodels.com . We release these stunning PS4750 models in four roadnames plus undecorated versions, listed here:

Our PTLX Landmark replicas are available in 2 road numbers, and don’t forget to check out our sister Landmark car, from Washington C.H. OH. PTLX Landmark “Uniopolis OH” is the first of three PS4750s fitting our Ohio theme, since Ohio is the host state of the 2014 National Train Show.
