Tangent Scale Models 24160-35 PS 3562 Coal Hopper Chessie System B&O 197510

B&O Chessie Black Delivery 1975+ PS3526 represents the “eastern” car release for this production. After the rapid sellout in the past production, Tangent thought Chessie/B&O deserved to be offered again, quickly. This series of Chessie PS3526 coal hoppers was large – totaling 2,500 cars. These cars have black carbodies and include Chessie yellow graphics incorporating the Chessie cat logo and the “Chessie System” stenciling in the upper left side panels. These cars also have “B&O” and road number stenciling applied to the underframe. The PS3526 features a high brake housing location to be consistent with other “legacy” B&O hoppers. This scheme is offered in 24 all-new road numbers so you can model a unit train or mix and match with your other Chessie hoppers. Also, don’t forget to match the models up with your Tangent Chessie/B&O quad door auto parts cars.
