    – Green Bay and Western GBW “Delivery Green 9-1963” shows off the as-delivered GBW paint scheme for a 10-car order.  The prototype cars were delivered in September of 1963, making this group some of the earliest Greenville 60’ cars built.  As a result, they feature the 41’ 3” narrow-truck centers with shorter sills.  The Tangent model executes these same prototype features along with a beautiful Apex-style running board and high ladders for the era.  On the end of the car, you will notice an accurate Ajax power brake, modern brake wheel and corresponding high retainer line.  The brake step is Morton, while the crossover platforms are Apex-style, matching the Green Bay and Western prototypes.  The underframe features an accurate Keystone Center-Of-Car Cushioning “COCC” setup with truck-mounted brake gear details.  This model is equipped with 100-Ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating Timken caps, just like the prototype.  This Green-Bay-Route beauty’s paint and lettering are carefully replicated down to the smallest detail.  It’s all there, and it’s all correct.  The models are assigned to Ford’s Fairfax Transmission Plant in Cincinnati, Ohio, (that’s Code 168) just like the real cars.  Don’t miss out!
