Southern Pacific (SP) “B-70-43 Delivery 1969” shows off the classic, as-delivered SP paint and lettering. From the accurate SP red with that eye-catching yellow left hand door, to the subtle roof overspray, this beauty is ready to haul paper on your railroad. SP loved to advertise their boxcar features, and we have taken the time to accurately replicate the “Hydra-Cushion For Fragile Freight” graphics on the side of the car. All of that beautiful SP data is also present – every single element — From the big bold “Southern Pacific” down to the most intricate and finely printed FMC Gunderson Bros. builder stencil. The SP 1969 Delivery scheme also features accurate details like Morton crossover platforms, an Ajax brake housing and a Modern brakewheel. The prototype SP cars were fitted with Hyatt roller bearings, and the Tangent model replicates this with correct SP red trucks and Hyatt rotating roller bearing caps.
