N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper, BN #430211 (ATH17239)

This N-scale PS-2 2600-cubic-foot covered hopper is a detailed representation of a mid-century cement-and-sand car, designed to bring authentic bulk-freight action to an N-scale layout. It captures the car’s silhouette and proportions for prototypical operations on a model railroad.

Features mirror the prototype, including a choice of flush or overhanging roof, etched metal roofwalks, factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons, and McHenry knuckle spring couplers. The car is weighted for optimum performance and faithfully painted and printed for prototypical realism, with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches on typical N-scale curves. In real service from the 1960s onward, PS-2 2600 cu ft hoppers hauled cement and sand and sometimes served as buffer cars when bulkloads weren't protected, a history this model helps recreate on modern layouts.
