– Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) “Delivery Gray 11-1959 GA-119” replicates the 100 cars of Santa Fe’s second 1959 order of Pullman-Standard Covered Hoppers.  ATSF ordered a total of 405 PS3215cf covered hoppers, which should be no surprise since ATSF was a prolific buyer of Pullman covered hopper products.  ATSF also happens to be the largest fleet owner of this car type.  The Tangent model replicates the delivery “gray” scheme, which includes the famous circle-cross logo.  The models feature a see-through Apex-style running board (straight and flat!), “Early-style” round roof hatches, body-mounted brake gear and Enterprise gravity outlet gates.  All of these features match the prototype ATSF cars.  The B-end of the car features all of the brake details and piping of the prototype, including a gorgeous Universal brake stand, modern brake wheel, Apex-style brake step, high-mounted retainer valve, wire piping details and a finely executed air release rod poking through the bottom sill on each side of the carbody.  Metal corner stirrup steps and flexible rubber air hoses on each end of the car provide durability.  These cars ride on our brand-new 70-Ton ASF A-3 Ride Control Roller Bearing trucks with Timken rotating bearing caps!  These are sharp ATSF models.
