N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper B&O #600401 (ATH17242)

This N-scale PS-2 2600 cubic-foot Covered Hopper in Baltimore and Ohio markings is a ready-to-run model designed for authentic operation on standard N-scale layouts. The real PS-2 2600 cu ft hopper entered service in the 1960s for cement and sand shipments and was occasionally used as a buffer car, a history this model captures to add believable mid-century freight detail to a layout.

Key features include etched metal roofwalks and factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons, plus pre-installed McHenry knuckle spring couplers for reliable handling. The car is weighted for smooth, stable performance and painted and printed to reflect prototypical realism. With a minimum curve radius of 9 3/4 inches, this detailed hopper is ready to run on common N-scale layouts and complements cement- and sand-service scenes on a compact route.
