Description

Tangent Scale Models is happy to announce the next release of our Greenville 86’ High Cube Double Plug Door Box Car! This is not just a single box car, but instead a system of 86’ High Cube Double Plug Door Box Car models. We are releasing six all-new exciting paint schemes.

During the 1960s, the most radical freight car designs employed the extreme height clearances offered by Plate F car designs. In 1964, no car type articulated this extreme more than the 86-foot, purpose-built “Auto Parts” boxcars. These large boxcars became fixtures on the rails all over North American mainlines, riding hot trains to deliver components vital to the productivity of auto plants. While several car builders offered 86’ auto parts boxcars, the most prolific builder of the double plug door design was Greenville Steel Car Company of Greenville, PA. More than 4,400 of these cars were acquired by most major railroads, and they were assigned to pools where multiple railroad’s cars served a specific shipper or shippers. Original utilization of these cars was for Ford, Pontiac, and Chrysler, as well as deliveries from 3rd party parts suppliers to the auto plants. Greenville’s 1964-1978 production was the longest run for this car type, with many still in service today.

Our November 2024 release includes all-new paint schemes, as requested by our customers. We are listening. This roadname mix includes delivery schemes as well as 1980s repaints and patch work. We continue to demonstrate an unprecedented variety of tooling options for our Greenville 86’ box car system – more than any other manufacturer, in fact. For those keeping score at home, we have now released thirteen different build variation options in our Greenville 86’ System of Auto Part Box Car Replicas, so far.
