Formed in 1982, the Seaboard System would go on to officially acquire the remaining Family Lines railroads and Chessie System Railroads by 1987 and become CSX Transportation. The Tangent model mimics cars from L&N’s first order of cars in 1964. While the L&N cars were originally built with high ladders and running boards, these features were quickly changed on the prototype cars. This Tangent model duplicates this 1965+ look: the prototype’s running board was removed; the end appliances were completely rebuilt with a lowered brake wheel and new “L” grab irons and full-width crossover platforms. This Tangent model carefully replicates all these features with this 1965+ body, including the bolt remnants where all of that “high” equipment was attached. This includes the body side, showing off the high grab iron remnants in the top-right corners. These cars were repainted at the former L&N South Louisville Shops in Kentucky and feature the big-bold Seaboard System logo, perfect for 1986. The ends of the car are painted silver (yes, silver) at the tops of the excess height area. Underneath. The model features an accurate Center-of-Car Cushioning underframe with truck-mounted brake hardware, “lowered” Miner hand brake, 1965 replacement full-width Apex crossover platforms, 70T trucks with 33” wheels and rotating “Hyatt” roller bearing caps. This has been a heavily requested scheme.Please keep in mind that these were pooled boxcars which means you might consider buying cars in a variety of road names. For example: prototype photos show a SBD car in Flat Rock, MI, a DT&I car in Dallas, TX, a MP car in Toledo, OH and an MKT car in Sharonville, OH. These cars certainly got around!
