– Conrail (CR) 959H “Repaint 1976” illustrates Despatch Shops Incorporated’s take on the GATC 4700 design. DSI built 400 Lot 959-H clones in 1965 that share the GATC “look” except for one major feature: DSI applied a welded roof vs. the standard GATC ribbed roof. Yes, Tangent duplicated this feature with a specific DSI roof for the Lot 959-H, including the DSI weld and rivet detail. This model replicates ex-NYC cars that have received 1976 Conrail oxide paint. Conrail continued to use these interior-lined cars in grain service and fitted the cars with Keystone “Portloc” gravity gates. This CR model inherits its former-NYC details including the high-mount brake gear and Morton brake step. The cars also kept their high-mount retainer. All those little Conrail paint details are present, like the accurate early “CONRAIL” under the logo, accurate CR ACI label, and accurate ex-NYC number stencils on the top right of the car side. Of course, Tangent applied white road numbers to the black 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks, matching Conrail prototype practice.
