Normally these cars are $42.95 each but I bought a 12 pack thus saved $45.
These cars rock!!!. The Federal Yellow appears to be dead on for prototype and we know how far off some of the other manufacturers have been on Federal Yellow. The lettering is crisp. The car has lots of details: thin profile brake piping, scale size wire grabirons, see-through etched metal running boards and crossover platforms, and each model Tangent sells include customized details applicable to each paint scheme - tow loops, jacking pads, ladders, Apex vs Morton running boards and crossover platforms, and underframe crossmembers.
Similar cars for Athearn and Atlas don't even come close. The ribs on the Intermountain cars are too wide and some of the details are no where near as good as these are.
