N PS 4427 Covered Hopper Model (ATH27409)

The N PS 4427 Covered Hopper Model is an N-scale replica of the Pullman-Standard PS-2 era covered hopper designed to haul bulk commodities such as grain. This model is fully assembled and ready for your layout, featuring body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers for prototypical coupling, screw-mounted roller-bearing trucks for smooth operation, and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for authentic tracking on Code 55 and 80 rail. It is weighted for stability in long trains and packaged in a jewel box for display and safe storage, with razor-sharp painting and printing and a minimum curve radius of 9 3/4 inches. The model is available in liveries such as Frisco.

Prototype background: Introduced in 1964 to carry bulk commodities like grain, the PS-2 4427-cubic-foot covered hopper remained a common sight on North American rails for decades. This N PS 4427 model faithfully reproduces that practical, workhorse appearance, providing a realistic addition to freight trains and switching scenes with accurate detailing and finish.
