HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper Southern Pacific #401877 (ATHG-1272)

HO scale 3-bay covered hopper in Southern Pacific livery, numbered 401877, designed for HO model railroads. It features separately applied round roof hatches, factory-applied wire grab irons, full underframe detail with air brake reservoir, control valve and plumbing, and machined RP25 wheels for smooth running on most HO brands. The car rides on 33‑inch nickel-silver wheels and includes a photo-etched roof walk, detailed outlets and hardware, and body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers, with weight tuned for steady tracking on standard 18-inch radius curves.

For modelers seeking a weathered, in-service look, the finish recreates faded SP colors and serves as a natural starting point for adding grime and rust. With meticulous detailing, a realistic wheelset, and weighted construction, this hopper delivers convincing appearance and reliable performance across a wide range of HO layouts.
