Tangent Scale Models (N)

Tangent Scale Models is a family-owned business in Asheville, North Carolina. It specializes in high-end HO and N scale freight cars and cabooses. The brand serves discriminating modelers who prioritize museum-quality detail and prototype accuracy.

Accuracy drives every Tangent product. The company uses original blueprints and field measurements to design its models. Every car features road-specific details like accurate fonts, logos, and lettering. Many models also include wire grab irons, see-through running boards, and full underbody brake rigging.

Tangent models arrive ready-to-run but built for performance. They feature CNC-machined metal wheels and genuine Kadee scale couplers. Cabooses often include track-powered interior lighting and functioning marker lights.
