– TLDX “Delivery Yellow Lease 3-1967”wears the popular and common version of the TLDX private leasing yellow.  The Pullman leasing lettering is simple, with accurate TLDX reporting marks and data.  The side placard adds a bit of “pop” to this scheme, advertising Pullman’s Transport Leasing Division to shippers.  These TLDX cars were built in 1967, and that translates to earlier Pullman features like square stirrup steps, center sill supports between the bays, solid end running board supports, Miner gravity gates and ribbed-style roof hatches.  The model is equipped with 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separately applied brake beams along with rotating Timken caps.  This relevant lease scheme is perfect for the 1960s-1980s.
