Denver & Rio Grande (D&RGW) “Delivery 1969” is an exciting release for us.  The distinctive D&RGW “Grande Gold” orange paint coupled with black ends and carefully added roof overspray makes a model that is simply stunning.  The prototype “Rio Grande” graphics were carefully fitted to the available 7 panels of space to the right of the doors.  The white paint at the tops of the ends reminds you that this is a “high-cube” car. The Rio Grande cars feature truck mounted brake details, faithfully replicated with accurate truck-mounted brake beam details and no body-mounted brake cylinder on the Hydra-Cushion underframe.  The Tangent D&RGW model also features accurate “unpainted” Morton style crossover platforms, early “5-board” large tack boards on the sides and ends and an Ajax handbrake.  Don’t forget to check out those accurate “Hyatt” rotating roller bearing caps on the 70-ton “Birdsboro foundry” Barber S-2 trucks!
