N ATH PS 4427 Covered Hopper MKT #9727 (ATH-2386)

An N-scale Athearn PS 4427 Covered Hopper, MKT 9727, is a detailed, ready-to-run freight car built to represent a classic mid-century covered hopper in Missouri–Kansas–Texas markings. Crisp painting and precise printing give it a lifelike presence on an N-scale layout, making it a credible addition to any freight roster.

Key features include body-mounted McHenry knuckle spring couplers for reliable coupling, screw-mounted trucks for accurate tracking, and roller-bearing trucks for realistic performance. It rides on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is compatible with Code 55 and Code 80 rails. Weighted for balanced operation and fully assembled, it arrives ready to place on the tracks, with a jewel-box presentation for display and storage. The finish highlights sharp painting and printing that capture the era, and the minimum radius to negotiate curves is 9 3/4 inches.
