N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper SP #400922 (ATH28358)

This N-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper is a detailed model designed to recreate the Pullman-Standard PS-2 design used to haul bulk commodities on North American railways. It features separately applied round roof hatches, a brake wheel, and a walkway, along with separately applied outlets and detailed braces for authentic, on-track appearance. The car rides on body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 profiles for smooth operation on standard N-scale track, and it can negotiate tight curves with a minimum radius of 11 inches.

Historically, PS-2 covered hoppers dominated mid-century bulk freight, carrying commodities such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets across the continent. This model brings that heritage to life on an N-scale layout—whether in a yard, along a mainline, or near industrial scenes—thanks to its authentic detailing and realistic operation that helps scenes feel true to the era.
