N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper DT&I #11116 (ATH17250)

This N-scale PS-2 2600 cu ft Covered Hopper in DT&I livery, No. 11116, is a detailed reproduction of a mid-century freight car designed for cement and sand service on model railroads.

With features that mirror the prototype, the model offers either flush or overhanging roof configurations, etched metal roofwalks, factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons, and McHenry knuckle spring couplers, all weighted for steady operation. Its precise painting and printing deliver prototypical realism, and the car is tuned to run smoothly on typical N-scale curves with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. The PS-2 2600 cu ft hopper first entered service in the 1960s and remained common into the 2000s, especially in cement and sand service, and occasionally serving as a buffer car when bulkloads were not protected by bulkheads.
