Penn Central (PC) H51 “Delivery Gray 9-1968” is one of those schemes that just defines a car type.  The first 261 “4600” cars built by PC Sam Rea were H51 class in late 1968.  Painted light gray with black bays, the cars feature a small PC logo between the ribs on the right side of the car.  Those black bays look sharp and show off the white PC reporting marks on the centersill, a feature carefully duplicated on this model.  Check out that Peacock 6500 brake housing and beautiful modern brake wheel.  The prototype’s truck-mounted brake gear translates to little things on the model like a “missing” brake cylinder on the B-End.  The 4 individual brake cylinders are actually mounted on the truck brake beams, duplicated on our 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks!  The bays are equipped with Wine outlet gates with their distinctive gear housing mechanism on the one side.  Penn Central lettering is something that we take great pride in here at Tangent.  This is industry-leading Tangent artwork and graphics: carefully duplicated based on real photos, not generic diagrams.  These Penn Central beauties are ready to operate on your layout.
