N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper MKT #1303 Plastic Model (ATH17251)

PS-2 2,600-cubic-foot Covered Hopper in MKT livery is a detailed model representing a mid-20th-century cement and sand carrier for realistic freight operations.

Key features include etched metal roof walks, factory-installed wire roof walk grab irons, and McHenry knuckle spring couplers, all weighted for smooth operation. Prototypical paint and printing enhance realism, and the model is designed to navigate curves with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. In prototype service dating back to the 1960s, PS-2 2,600-cu-ft covered hoppers hauled cement and sand and were sometimes used as buffer cars to separate bulk loads.
