This highly detailed model recreates the PS-2 class used for cement and sand service from the 1960s onward and is ready to roll on a typical HO layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDesigned for realistic operation, the model features an injection-molded body that is fully assembled, with a choice of flush or overhanging roof per prototype, end cages and etched end platforms, body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth performance on popular tracks, and factory-applied painting and lettering for prototypical realism. It is weighted for stable tracking and requires a minimum 18-inch radius. In prototype terms, the PS-2 2,600-cubic-foot hopper entered service in the 1960s and was commonly used for cement and sand shipments, occasionally serving as a buffer car when bulkloads were not bulkheaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47906413936692,"sku":"ATH63804","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH63804.jpg?v=1781653071","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath63804","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
