HO PS-2 4427 High-Side Covered Hopper: Pillsbury (Delivery) #6771

(Different road number shown)
From Tangent Scale Models:
TLDX “Delivery Pillsbury 3-1967” shows a very highly-requested private lessee delivery scheme for the Pullman-Standard 4427. The model you already have of this TLDX car is kind of close, but isn’t quite right! The Pillsbury billboard lettering fills the side of the car, from the large outlined letters to the round Pillsbury logo mounted on a square placard. What a classic. This car features all the Pillsbury phase details, including center sill supports between the bays, solid end running board supports, Miner gravity gates and ribbed-style roof hatches. The model is equipped with 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separately applied brake beams along with rotating Timken caps. This is a big lease scheme.

- Highly correct “true to life” colors
- “Hyper-Accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement
- “Near-scale” draft gear box with beautifully-rendered side “key” detail

(Whew!)
