GVSR “B-70-43 Repaint 1996+” illustrates that oh-so-90s look of the “Golden West Service” paint scheme.  Starting in 1996, SP sold some groups of the SP and SSW B-70-42 cars to Greenbrier Leasing, who then refurbished the cars and leased them back to the SP through the GVSR.  Painted dark blue, these cars went right back to work on the SP for many years.  This model features lots of fine small door data and labels, carefully reproduced to add even more pop to those beautiful double plug doors.   The separate door tracks and “3^rd Arm” details really stand out!  We also applied “replacement” style tack boards on the sides and ends to duplicate the prototype after refurbishing.  The Tangent GVSR model is equipped with accurate black 70-ton “Birdsboro foundry” Barber S-2 trucks that have rotating “Timken” roller bearing caps.
