N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper SP #402020 (ATH-1730)

This N-scale Pullman-Standard PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper is a detailed model designed to replicate a classic mid-century bulk-carrier used on North American rails. Based on the 1950s PS-2 design, it’s built to haul bulk commodities such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets on an N-scale layout. The car features separately applied roof hatches, a brake wheel, a walkway, and detailed braces, along with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on common track. A minimum curve radius of 11 inches ensures compatibility with most hobby layouts.

Primed for grime models, the finish recreates the look of an in-service car with faded base colors matched to the prototype and an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. The PS-2 design dominated the covered hopper market in the 1950s, making this model a convincing centerpiece for era-accurate scenes or busy interchange on your layout.
