Description

A beautiful follow-up to our Sold Out Arkansas Valley PS-4750 covered hopper cars, this “Sperandeo Blue” boxcar looks amazing!

The Arkansas Valley is the freelance model railroad created by Joe Loggans.  Be sure to check out the Arkansas Valley Railroad Facebook page to see more original AV content!

Sporting a 2-78 Built Date this car represents an order of 20 cars delivered by Greenville in 1978 in the series AV 29040 through AV 29059.

This car was produced exclusively for Home Shops by Tangent Scale Models as part of their January 2023 release.  The 1977-1978 Greenville Steel Car Company car body is the prototype offered in this run, so all cars will have a Built Date within that range.  The most notable feature of this production range is five grab irons on each side–previous designs only had four.

As with all Tangent cars you will find them laden with many fine details and extremely crisp paint edges.  Be sure to take out the magnifying glass and read the unique trust stenciling!  Metal wheels, scale metal Kadee couplers, and rotating journal endcaps are standard on all cars in this release.
