– TRLX “Ex-USRE Texas Industries Restencil 1993+” illustrates a restenciled version of the Texas Industries car we are offering concurrently. These former USRE/Texas Industries Inc. cars were purchased by Texas Railcar Leasing and show their appearance from 1993+ after being restenciled with fresh reporting marks.  The Tangent models wear a faded version of the original orange paint, along with fresh patches and stencils for their new owners.  Since this group of cars have Norfolk Southern heritage, they feature NS details like a see-through Morton-style running board with its distinctive side uni-wing flange, evenly-spaced round roof hatches, body-mounted brake gear and gravity outlet gates.  The B-end of the car features all of the brake details and piping of the prototype, including a gorgeous Ajax brake stand, modern brake wheel, Morton-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.  The model rides on 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with Timken rotating bearing caps.  We are pleased to offer 3 road numbers in this restencil scheme, providing a neat car option for our 1990s and 2000s customers.  Each of the cars is photo-specific with paint-out patches applied based on the photos.
