HO Gunderson 6089 50ft High Cube Box Car, Cotton Belt St. Louis Southwestern (SSW) Cotton Belt B-70-42 Repaint 1984+ offers an accurate 1980s era repainted scheme. In 1984, the SP/SSW was busy renumbering some of the SSWs B-70-42 boxcars into the 59000 series. Their new paint jobs stood out with a smaller but distinctive yellow CUSHION-CAR graphic on the left with the familiar COTTON BELT bold graphics to the right. Sharp-eyed fans will note the sans-serif reporting marks and data ? this is accurate for this era of SSW B-70-42 repaints. This Cotton Belt repaint scheme features Morton crossover platforms, an Ajax handbrake and separately installed body-brake style truck brake beams. We have also applied the 3rd Arm door hardware along the top door tracks to match the prototype. The accurate black 70-ton Birdsboro foundry Barber S-2 trucks have rotating Timken roller bearing caps.
