Tangent

Company History: Launched in 2007 by an HO Scale modeler and operator with a passion for high-quality models and a strong devotion to historical prototype railroad freight car design. Asheville, North Carolina based Tangent Scale Models developed it's first model in early 2006. Fitted with factory installed metal wheels and Kadee magnetic knuckle couplers to ensure the firm's replicas operate as well as they look, painstakingly researched, the models are exquisitely detailed, have true-to-life colors, and accurate fonts, logos, and lettering.

Professionally designed, like the firm's models are, along with providing high-quality product information and photos, for comparisons and educational purposes, the Tangent Scale Models website contains prototype reference material. Revolutionizing the high-detail end of HO Scale model production, this family owned and operated business proudly designs its products in the United States.
