{"product_id":"ath-1725","title":"N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper NYC #883038 (ATH-1725)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAn N-scale model of a three-bay PS-2 covered hopper, reproduced in New York Central livery. This pulls-into-service design captures the look of mid-20th‑century freight cars used to move bulk commodities such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets across North American rails on hobby layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe car features separately applied roof hatches, a brake wheel, and a walkway, along with detailed outlets and braces. It rides on body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on popular track. A minimum curve radius of 11 inches makes it suitable for most standard N-scale layouts. The model is primed to be weathered, with base colors matched to the prototype to support an in‑service look and a starting point for adding grime and rust. Historically, PS-2s dominated the covered hopper market from the 1950s onward, designed to carry bulk goods efficiently across the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47570200297524,"sku":"ATH-1725","price":43.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1725.jpg?v=1773175504","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1725","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
