HO Athearn PS 4740 Covered Hopper BNSF #433182 (ATH-2363)

HO Athearn PS 4740 Covered Hopper in BNSF livery is a ready-to-run HO scale model that faithfully reproduces the PS-4740 class covered hopper used for bulk freight. It’s designed for immediate placement on any layout, delivering accurate proportions and authentic detailing that reflect in-service equipment.

It arrives fully assembled and ready to operate, featuring body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth rolling on common HO track, and roller-bearing trucks that enhance realism. The car is weighted for stable handling, with razor-sharp painting and printing that capture the look of an in-service car. A minimum radius of 18 inches ensures reliable operation on modest curves, and the finish is primed for grime—providing an ideal starting point for weathering to match the prototype’s faded base colors and rust or grime accents.
