{"product_id":"ath17243","title":"N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper B\u0026O #600409 (ATH17243)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn N scale PS-2 2600 cu ft covered hopper in Baltimore and Ohio livery, this model recreates a classic 1960s-era car used to haul cement and sand on model railroads. It is designed for realistic operation on standard N scale layouts, offering authentic proportions and a prototypical silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003ePrototype-accurate details include variations with flush or overhanging roofs, etched metal roofwalks, and factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons. McHenry knuckle spring couplers are installed, and the chassis is weighted to help achieve smooth, reliable operation on layout curves. A carefully applied paint scheme and printing deliver prototypical realism, with a minimum radius of 9 3\/4 inches for compatibility with smaller layouts. In real service, the PS-2 2600 cu ft covered hopper entered service in the 1960s and was commonly used for cement and sand shipments, staying in service into the 2000s and occasionally serving as a buffer car when a bulkload was not protected by a bulkhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900006187060,"sku":"ATH17243","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH17243.jpg?v=1781304491","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath17243","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
