N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper C&NW #95693 (ATH17245)

This N-scale PS-2 2600-cubic-foot Covered Hopper in Chicago & North Western livery provides a faithful representation of a mid-century cement and sand service hopper for N-scale layouts.

Key details include a choice of flush or overhanging roof per prototype, etched metal roofwalks, factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons, and McHenry knuckle spring couplers. The model is weighted for smooth tracking and finished with accurate paint and printing to capture prototypical realism. It can navigate curves with a minimum radius of 9-3/4 inches, making it compatible with common layouts. In prototype service dating back to the 1960s, PS-2 2600-cubic-foot hoppers hauled cement and sand and, at times, served as buffer cars when bulk loads weren't protected by a bulkhead.
