Erie Lackawanna EL Delivery Red 3-1966 replicates the as-delivered EL paint scheme for a large order of 47 cars. The prototype cars were delivered in very-late March and early April of 1966, right in the middle of the rules change concerning prototype running board application. These EL cars were the first Greenville 60 group to be built with low ladders and no running boards. If you look closely at the model, you can spot the rivets around the areas of the car side and ends where high ladders and brake gear would have been mounted. Greenville Steel Car had already drilled the holes for the high equipment, and simply filled the holes with rivets to finish the order.

Yes, these cars were built new with low ladders. Tangent has duplicated this interesting look on the models, with the correct wider 463 truck centers, low side ladders, non-symmetrical low end ladders and low Ajax brake gear. The underframe is equipped with an accurate Keystone Center-Of-Car Cushioning underframe and truck-mounted brake hardware details.

The model has Tangents All-New 100-Ton Barber S-2 Plain Bearing trucks with accurate journal box lids for the EL. The graphics on the model are carefully executed, with the Erie Lackawannas logo, Roman-style data and Greenville Steel Car-style small data all faithfully reproduced. This group of cars has a return route to the NYC and Fords Monroe, Michigan Stampings plant. Available in 8 numbers, with SKUs -01 through -04 NEW in 3-66 and SKUs -05 through -08 NEW in 4-66.
