PTLX “Roland and Nevada 1974” answers the call for Private Elevator leasing Pullman Standard 4750 Covered Hoppers.  These bright blue cars (part of a 25 car order) traveled far and wide and “fit in” almost anywhere.

This PTLX group of cars features a Pullman body with open-hole posts, center-tube train air line, and truck mounted brake hardware.  (Notice there is no brake cylinder on the B-End!)  The bays are equipped with beautifully replicated early-style Miner outlet gates.  This Roland & Nevada Coop paint scheme is full of little lettering details. 

Check out that logo mounted on a small placard in the center of the carbody!  The models come equipped our 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with accurate “Timken” rotating caps and correct truck-mounted brake beams.  From the red roof grab irons down to the PTLX reporting marks printed on the draft gear, this paint scheme is winner.
