N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper NSRX #302 (ATH-1719)

This N-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper NSRX 302 is a detailed recreation of Pullman-Standard’s PS-2 design, built to carry bulk commodities such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets on North American rails. The NSRX 302 road number helps recreate authentic era-specific freight on an N-scale layout.

The model features separately applied round roof hatches, a brake wheel, and a walkway, plus outlets and detailed braces for a convincing in-service look. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable, prototypical coupling on most track. With a minimum radius of 11 inches, it’s well-suited to compact N-scale curves. It’s primed for grime, offering base colors matched to the prototype and ready to be weathered with grime and rust to recreate a car that has spent years on the rails. Historically, the PS-2 family dominated the 1950s hopper market, designed to move bulk commodities across North American rails—a heritage this model captures for era-specific freight trains.
