– New York Central NYC “937-B Delivery Green 1-1964” continues our dedication to NYC modelers, replicating an order totaling 41 cars in the classic NYC Century Green and Black scheme. These cars were delivered in January of 1964, so they were some of the last cars to 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 Champion-Peacock 1600 power brake with separately applied short release lever and modern brake wheel. The brake step is Morton, while the crossover platforms are Apex-style, matching the NYC prototypes. The underframe is equipped with an accurate Keystone Center-Of-Car Cushioning setup with truck-mounted brake gear details. The model has Tangent’s All-New 100-Ton Barber S-2 Plain Bearing trucks with accurate journal box lids for the NYC. (Seriously, road-specific journal box lids. Who does that? Tangent does!) The NYC paint and lettering doesn’t take a back seat. From the big and bold “cigar-band” herald down to the most intricate data like the NYC-specific triangle paint code stenciling — It’s all there, and it’s all correct. These NYC 937-B cars have a return route to the NYC’s Rockport Yard in Cleveland Ohio – i.e. Cleveland Engine. It’s time to haul V8 engines to or through your railroad with these Century Green beauties.
