HO Athearn PS 4740 Covered Hopper DRGW #15490 (ATH-2366)

This HO-scale Athearn PS 4740 Covered Hopper in DRGW #15490 is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model designed to bring a classic covered hopper to a model railroad layout. It’s built for realistic freight operations, delivering credible performance and a convincing presence on mainline runs or yard scenes.

Equipped with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 36” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and roller-bearing trucks, the car rolls smoothly on most popular brands of track and is weighted for steady, prototypical performance. Razor-sharp painting and printing provide crisp lettering and color, while the minimum curve radius of 18 inches helps it fit on standard layouts. It’s primed for grime, duplicating the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors and offering a natural starting point for adding grime and rust.
