– FPFX “Foster Farms Delivery” 1980 is an exciting offering for us, as we bring Foster Farms back, more accurate than ever. This group totaled 75 prototype cars. These cars feature an accurate 1980 Pullman 4750 body, including “open hole” side posts, thick sill protrusion over the bolsters and distinctive wider jacking tabs associated with much (but not all!) of Pullman’s late production. The “Tea & Cream” body color looks great on the model. (Yes, that is the official name for the color!) The ”Devil’s Food” lettering really stands out. (Honest, we’re not making up that color name either!) The center sill correctly models the body-mounted brake linkage “access holes” on one side of the car, just like the real ones. Our 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks have the correct “Brenco 3” rotating caps. This is a popular scheme, and we are pleased to offer late Pullman accuracy in 2025!
