The PS-1 was the workhorse Pullman-Standard boxcar of the 1950s and 60s, and seeing one decked out in C\u0026amp;NW yellow with the classic ball-and-bar herald is a great way to keep the road name alive on a modern UP-themed layout. Crisp lettering, factory-applied details, and Kadee-style metal knuckle couplers come ready to run right out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO rolling stock?
