N PS 4427 Covered Hopper, NP #76841 (ATH27414)

PS-4427 Covered Hopper Car is an N-scale model that recreates the PS-2-era 4,427-cubic-foot capacity covered hopper used for bulk shipments such as grain. Representing NP road number 76841, this ready-to-run car captures the practical, workmanlike design that roamed North American rails for decades.

Equipped with body-mounted McHenry knuckle spring couplers and screw-mounted trucks for accurate tracking, the model features roller-bearing trucks, 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and runs on Code 55 and 80 rails. Weighted for stable operation, it is fully assembled and packaged in a jewel box for display or storage, with crisp paint and printing that faithfully reproduce the era's markings. The model accommodates a minimum curve radius of 9 3/4 inches on most N-scale layouts. Based on the PS-2 design that carried grain and other bulk commodities across North American rails for decades, this car adds authentic period detail to freight rosters.
