Thanks for sharing. Exceptional detail on these that truly raises the bar for highly detailed freight car models. IMHO brass has been long left in the dust by the new generation of injection molded models. Compliments to Tangent, your son, and the other talented folks at what was described on one list as "that wonderful place in Oregon" or words to that effect. Tangent will be seeing an order from me shortly. Doug Stark Date: 08/01/07 17:23 Re: Tangent PS 4740 upclose Author: tracktime BN_FAN Wrote:

> order from me shortly. Got my shipping notice today. I guess it's time to shuffle through my stash of HK hopper decals! Date: 08/01/07 18:12 Re: Tangent PS 4740 upclose Author: funnelfan That is a great looking model. I'm thinking about a couple of MILW cars, but I don't know about much more than that due to the price. I just won four of the Life Like P2K 4427 cars for about $30 on E-bay, (Timesaver Kits).

Then I went home and looked inside the MSB I have with delivery photos from the PS factory. It is amazing the number of hoppers which were produced in this config. Alot of proprietary companies and I saw that GN BSB, Northern Pacific in the original "BN" green. I am wishing that I would have bought some kits too because I have a good selection of Herald King decals which go nicely into this project.
The other thing to note is it seems they bring in #58 or is it #158 KD as standard couplers. Is this true?

Anyone have a link to their web site, if they even have one (Tangent Models).
Thanks, Frank Date: 08/02/07 00:01 Re: Tangent PS 4740 upclose Author: ESPEE5318 Date: 08/02/07 16:34 Re: Tangent PS 4740 upclose Author: atsfman Yep, got two kits undec coming, one of each. Really anxious now, even though I don't have the time to build them when they get here, let's see, call in sick? Stay up all night? gotta be some way to get them built.
