– Clinchfield (CRR) “FH18 Delivery Black 1974” replicates Clinchfield’s first order of Bethlehem Quad Hoppers, delivered across the second half of 1974.  The Tangent model features an accurate 1974-style Bethlehem body, with angled gussets on the top chord corners and single “lower” side posts at the bolsters.  Take a moment to look at the bottom corner roping plate details – see-through and accurate, allowing you to see the terminating bottom chord behind them.  The bays are outfitted with Wine lock appliances.  On the end of the car, the model features an accurate Equipco 3750 high handbrake and Morton-style brake step.  Inside, the models have a gorgeous (and removable!) tipple-style coal load.  These coal cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken caps.  The Clinchfield lettering on the cars is thoroughly researched and includes varying CAPY, Trust and COTS data across the different car numbers.  And yes, the trucks have the individual car numbers properly stenciling on them, just like the real CRR cars.  Are you ready for an accurate coal train?  These Clinchfield models are available in 24 numbers with month specific build dates: SKUs -01 through -06 are 7-74.  SKUs -07 through -12 are 8-74.  SKUs -13 through -18 are 9-74.  SKUs 19 through -24 are 10-74.
