HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper NYC #883059 (ATHG-1270)

This HO scale, three-bay covered hopper reproduces a New York Central prototype (NYC #883059) for realistic freight operation on HO layouts. It’s designed to run on standard HO-track setups, with accurate paint and prototypical detailing that fit naturally into yard scenes or mainline runs.

The model offers features that enhance both appearance and performance: separately applied roof hatches, factory-wired grab irons, and a full underframe with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing; 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on most HO brands; a photo-etched roof walk, detailed outlets, and hardware; and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers with a weighted chassis for steady tracking. It is designed to negotiate 18-inch radius curves and arrives with a grime-ready finish—duplicating the in-service look with faded base colors, making it a natural starting point for adding grime and rust.
