– Bessemer & Lake Erie (B&LE) “COR-TEN Delivery Black 1975” replicates the large 550 car delivery Pullman-Standard delivered to B&LE in 1975. The Tangent model features an accurate 1975-built Pullman body. For the car’s construction, Pullman-Standard used the distinctive Pullman “trapezoid” indentations on the flat side panels, as well as riveted construction. This Tangent model executes all of those details, inside and out. The Quad hopper bays have separate door and door frame detail. The hopper doors themselves are fitted with intricate Wine door locking mechanisms, accurate for these Pullman cars. The B-End of the car has an accurate Ajax high handbrake, Morton brake step and modern brake wheel. Inside, the models have a gorgeous (and removable!) flood-style coal load. These coal cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separate truck brake beams and rotating “Brenco-6” caps. On the car sides, Pullman painted the cars with black “strips” of paint in the two locations where identification stenciling was needed, including the B&LE initial and road number and CAPY block at left, and then the distinctive B&LE logo and COTS panels at right. Also, the center sill, end slope sheets and brake components were painted black. In between and everywhere else? COR-TEN naturally-rusted, unpainted steel. Check it out – it looks hot! We have worked hard to replicate the look of the cars in their recently-delivered, “weathered steel” appearance, which got “darker” as the cars aged. These Pullman-Standard models are available with the December of 1975 build dates.
