– CSX “Repaint 1989” shows off the very common and consistent CSX repaints from the 1989-era, and takes us all back to the early days of CSX freight car repaints. This group of PS 2929 cars is pulled from the ex-ACL series and features record-specific CSX Raceland Shops repaint dates and data. The models feature correct ex-ACL roof details like a see-through Apex-style running board and evenly-spaced round roof hatches. In this era, the retainer valve has been moved to a lower location, a feature carefully duplicated on the models. The gravity outlet gates are specific for CSX and are a replacement style with locking bar mechanisms. The prototype CSX repaints maintained the distinctive ex-ACL 100-Ton trucks with the retaining bolts detail. The B-end of the car features all of the brake details and piping of the prototype, including a gorgeous Ajax brake stand, modern brake wheel, Morton-style brake step, wire piping details and a finely executed air release rod poking through the bottom sill on each side of the carbody. Metal corner stirrup steps and flexible rubber air hoses on each end of the car provide durability.
These cars are available in 12 numbers, with four possible months of repaint dates:
- 2 from February 1989 (SKUs -03, -06)
- 4 from March 1989 (SKUs -04, -05, -08, -09)
- 4 from April 1989 (SKUs -02, -07, -11, -12)
- 2 from May 1989 (SKUs -01, -10)
It’s time to haul phosphate!
