Tangent Scale Models HO Gunderson 6089 50' High Cube Boxcar – SSW #59249

Add an accurately detailed Cotton Belt freight car to your HO scale roster with the Tangent Scale Models Gunderson 6089 50' High Cube Boxcar SSW #59249. This model represents a St. Louis Southwestern B-70-42 boxcar in the 1984+ repaint scheme, when SSW renumbered a group of these cars into the 59000 series.

The 1984-era appearance features the smaller yellow “CUSHION-CAR” graphic on the left side paired with the familiar bold “COTTON BELT” graphics. Tangent also reproduces the era-correct sans-serif reporting marks and data along with prototype-specific details including Morton crossover platforms, an Ajax handbrake, body-brake style truck brake beams, and “3rd Arm” door hardware along the upper door tracks.
