Tangent Scale Models HO 17018-02 G43A Gondola, Penn Central #576012

PC “Delivery G43A 2-1968” in the original Penn Central green paint scheme, and a PC version we have not yet offered! These gorgeous models have 2 placards in place for the PC reporting marks, road numbers, and ACI label on the left side of the car. On the right side is an additional placard that includes a PC logo and Penn Central lettering. These placards are utilized on this class of PC car since these cars have side corrugations on each panel, where they knew that putting paint on the corrugations would not last very long! These cars have corrugated ends, and the Tangent replica includes oxide red car interiors – on the interior walls and ends – like the prototype. We even duplicated the slight green overspray on the inside end corners! The 100-Ton trucks feature accurate rotating “Timken” caps.
