N ATH PS 4427 Covered Hopper MKT #9790 (ATH-2387)

This is an Athearn PS 4427 Covered Hopper model, a detailed representation of a Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) covered hopper for model railroad layouts. It arrives fully assembled and ready to run, making it a straightforward addition to any freight-car roster on a layout.

Out of the box, it features body-mounted McHenry knuckle spring couplers for reliable coupling, screw-mounted trucks for accurate tracking, and roller-bearing trucks for smooth operation. The car rides on 36" machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for steady performance. It runs on Code 55 and Code 80 track and ships in a jewel-box packaging that’s ideal for display or storage. The finish showcases razor-sharp painting and printing, and the minimum curve radius is 9 3/4 inches, making it compatible with a wide range of layouts.
