HO PS4740 Covered Hopper Union Pacific #74225 (ATH22262)

An HO scale Union Pacific PS-4740 Covered Hopper model in UP livery, UP #74225, represents the Pullman-Standard 4740-cubic-foot covered hopper. These cars were introduced as a larger-capacity successor to earlier designs and were used to haul bulk commodities like grain on North American rails; the class remains a familiar sight on today’s networks, making this model a historically grounded addition to any freight layout.

Fully assembled and ready to run, the model rides on 36-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours suitable for most HO track brands. It features body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, roller-bearing trucks, and a weighted chassis for reliable, smooth operation. Razor-sharp painting and printing deliver a convincing Union Pacific presentation, and an 18-inch minimum radius keeps it compatible with common hobby layouts.
