– Union Pacific (UP) “Bicentennial CH-100-28 1974” gives the patient Union Pacific modelers some love.  Many of you have asked for us “to do the UP Bicentennial car” so – here it is!  Union Pacific rostered eight groups of Pullman 4750s, and the Bicentennial car was one of the cars in the 1000-car order for lot CH-100-28.  The Bicentennial car was produced when Pullman was transitioning from the combination closed-hole/open-hole side posts to only open side posts – a transition that occurred in this order of 1000 cars.  The cars also include three distinctive appliances that make these Tangent models stand out from generic models: UP-specific corner steps – with the distinctive angle, bolted outlet gate flanges, and Landreth style roof hatches, with their distinctive zig-zag rib pattern.  Check out those see-through Morton roof walkways and matching end crossover platforms.  The models come equipped with body-mounted brake hardware and our 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating caps.  Tangent’s execution of this gorgeous UP paint job is simply unmatched, created with care and accuracy down to the stencil marks are one-inch COTS panel lettering.  Check out the beautiful paint separations in between the blue bar, the red and white stripes, the black underframe, and the white ends.  We are pleased to offer this accurate UP model, unlike any other PS4750 we’ve produced to date!
