HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper NYC #883038 (ATHG-1269)

HO scale 3-bay covered hopper in New York Central livery, designed to add authentic mid-century freight traffic to a standard model railroad layout.

Equipped with separately applied round roof hatches, factory-applied wire grab irons, and a fully detailed underframe with air brake reservoir, valve, and plumbing, this model delivers prototypical realism. It rides on 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on most brands of track and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling. A photo-etched roof walk, detailed outlets, and other fine underbody details enhance the look, while the weight is tuned for optimum performance. Suitable for minimum curves of 18 inches, the car is primed for grime—providing an authentic “in-service” look with faded base colors and a ready starting point for weathering grime and rust.
