PC ‘Delivery G43A 2-1968’ in the original Penn Central green paint scheme, and a PC version we have not yet offered. These models have 2 placards in place for the PC reporting marks, road numbers, and ACI label on the left side of the car. On the right side is an additional placard that includes a PC logo and Penn Central lettering. These placards are utilized on this class of PC car since these cars have side corrugations on each panel, where they knew that putting paint on the corrugations would not last very long. These cars have corrugated ends, and the Tangent replica includes oxide red car interiors on the interior walls and ends like the prototype. We even duplicated the slight green overspray on the inside end corners. The 100-Ton trucks feature accurate rotating ‘Timken’ caps.
Prototype Information: The G43 gondolas were a modern fleet of 52’6” interior length 100-ton mill gondolas built by the Pennsylvania Railroad and merger successor Penn Central at the Sam Rea Shops in Hollidaysburg PA from 1966 to 1970, to replace older gondolas with a rugged design suitable for mill steel products, scrap, and aggregate services.
All of the G43 series gondolas are identified by their side corrugations, after which each of the G43 sub-classes, G43 / G43A / G43B / G43C are visually distinctive from one another. Many were modified during the Conrail era with coil ‘racks’ to transport uncovered steel coils. Some served NS and CSXT in the post-Conrail era in various services including coil service, as well as other revenue and MOW services, while other cars were sold to the secondary market with leasing firm reporting marks.

ADM leased these cars from Chicago Freight Car Leasing Company ‘CRDX’ and they were painted in a wonderful ADM dark blue with white graphics. These models duplicate the CRDX prototypes with Morton roof walkways and body mounted brake gear. Look closely at the bays, and you will notice the distinctive Wine ‘Combo’ style outlet gates that allowed for either normal gravity unloading or low pressure air-assisted pneumatic unloading depending on the commodity. The B-end features an accurate Morton brake step and Ajax power brake. The low retainer valve is mounted near the air reservoir, just like the prototype. The black 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks have accurate rotating Timken bearing caps
