N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper SOU #93081 (ATH-1732)

Introducing the N-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper in Southern Railway livery, car number 93081 — a detailed model that recreates a mid-century bulk-commodity hopper used to haul grain, cement, and plastic pellets. The model includes authentic touches such as separately applied round roof hatches, a brake wheel, a walkway, and individually added outlets and braces, plus body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and machined metal RP25 wheels for reliable operation on most track. With a minimum radius of 11 inches, it’s ready to run on typical layouts, and it’s primed for grime to provide a realistic in-service look when weathered.

Historically, PS-2 cars from Pullman-Standard dominated the covered hopper market beginning in the 1950s, traveling across North America to support bulk-cargo service. This model’s era-appropriate detailing captures that utilitarian character, making it a solid fit for dioramas and realistic layouts where a credible, weather-friendly bulk hopper helps bring a layout to life.
