Tangent 86' Box Cars vs Class One Model Works 86' Box Cars
Author: bravesfan

Relatively new to HO scale trains.  Noticed Class One has a good sale on some of their 86' auto parts box cars.  How is their quality and detail as compared to Tangent Scale Models.  If they're close to being equal, I may place an order.  Many thanks for any information.

Tangent for the win on quality, but it all depends on which road names you are after compared to what is currently available.

Of course there are always counter opinions, but my vote goes to Tangent for the best detail and overall quality of product between the two manufacturers.

I would also go with Tangent IF I knew it was a Tangent car. That being said, if both 86 foot cars were held side by side and you had to identify which one was a Tangent car and which one was a Class One car, it would be nearly impossble to tell. BOTH are detailed very well with excellent paint and rollabilty on track. It depends on the road name you are looking for. I have cars from both producers and they both are VERY WELL DONE.

They represent two different prototypes. The Tangent cover a range of Greenville auto parts cars while the ClassOne represents the Thrall.
