N PS-2 2600 Covered Hopper MKT #1319 (ATH17252)

An N-scale model of the PS-2 2600 cu ft Covered Hopper, this car recreates a 1960s-era freight car built for cement and sand service. It’s designed to fit into realistic layouts, adding era-accurate detail to yards, sidings, and mainlines.

Notable features include flush or overhanging roof per prototype, etched metal roofwalks, factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons, and McHenry knuckle spring couplers, with a weighted chassis for steady operation. The model is accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism and handles curves with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. In service since the 1960s, PS-2 hoppers were commonly used for cement and sand and could also serve as buffer cars when bulkloads were unprotected, adding historical depth to a model roster.
