– PTLX “The Andersons” 1999+ gives the contemporary guys a later lease offering.  These two selections are pulled from photos of PTLX cars that are still in their original “The Andersons” gray paint scheme.  The logo plates are long gone, and the paint is more faded – losing the PTLX gray shade and moving towards a light blue.  Behind the placard panel is a green patch, matching the prototype photos.  The running boards are a weathered metal color now.  There are lots of differences in the little lettering details – patch reporting marks, COTS updates, ACI removal, data patches – all working together to show these two cars as they looked in the 1999+ era.  This PTLX group of cars features a Pullman body with open-hole posts, center-tube train air line, and truck mounted brake hardware.  (Notice there is no brake cylinder on the B-End!)  The bays are equipped with beautifully replicated Miner “Selflok” outlet gates.  Up on the roof, you can see replacement style roof hatches and a detailed see-though Morton walkway with matching Morton crossover platforms on the ends.  The models come equipped our 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with accurate “Timken” rotating caps and correct truck-mounted brake beams.  We have even mounted AEI tags on the body.
