Southern (SOU) NS-era BS-84 Claytor Repaint 1987+ is a very common 1980s paint job in the world of auto parts cars, this one for the Norfolk Southern (NS) system. After the NS merger, NS continued to paint cars in pre-NS schemes, this Claytor scheme repaint included. The Southern cars were built in February of 1970 as part of a lot that included the distinctive Center-Of-Car cushioning details. We have duplicated those same features underneath and on the ends, with the extended draft gear.

The Claytor repaint features the original Apex crossover platforms with a Universal brake stand and brakewheel. Check out those gorgeous new 70-Ton Barber S-2 Birdsboro Foundry trucks with rotating Timken roller bearing caps, just like the prototype. These beauties are available with four road numbers!
