N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper CB&Q #85025 Plastic Model (ATH28351)

PS-2 three-bay Covered Hopper CB&Q #85025 is a finely detailed scale model that faithfully reproduces Pullman-Standard's PS-2 design, capturing a three-bay hopper used to haul bulk commodities like grain, cement, and plastic pellets. The model features separately applied round roof hatches, a brake wheel, and a walkway, along with outlets and detailed braces to mirror the prototype. It rolls on body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and is designed to run on curves with a minimum radius of 11 inches for reliable operation on typical layouts.

Originally developed in the 1950s, PS-2 cars became a staple of North American freight service due to their practical, bulk-carrying design. This CB&Q-liveried recreation provides an authentic way to build a mid-century roster, offering correct detailing and rugged performance that appeals to hobbyists seeking period accuracy and dependable operation on a modern track arrangement.
