Tangent Scale Models 14036-04 - PRR Shops X58 Plug Door Boxcar Lehigh Valley (LV) 8208 - HO Scale

LV “Original 12-1965 X58B” replicates the Lehigh Valley’s second group of X58 cars (and not yet offered by Tangent, until today!) from the PRR Samuel Rea Shops.  These 60 cars were built in early December 1965, classed as X58B and wore the attractive black and white Lehigh Valley paint scheme.   The LV scheme is a good example of “classy” as you notice the side grab irons (“ladders”) are painted black against the white sides along with the red LV flag painted across the ten-foot plug door.  The models are sharp, equipped with accurate Keystone cushion underframes and Apex-style roof walkways.  We are releasing twelve (yes, 12!) individual car numbers, with each individual car number researched to include accurate return route lettering as used by the Lehigh Valley.  Modelers take careful notice that many of these cars return home to non-LV roads!

• SKUs -01 through -04 are lettered return to Reading Company West Trenton, New Jersey including that distinctive T-diamond mark.
• SKU -05 is lettered return to C&O Midland, Michigan.
• SKUs -06 through -07 are lettered return to LV RR Niagara Falls, New York.
• SKUs -08 and -12 are lettered return to GTW RR, Otterburn, Michigan, with the distinctive “O” mark.
• SKUs -09 through -11 are lettered return to LV RR Oak Island, New Jersey.

These cars will be hot.
