HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper SP #401995 (ATHG-1273)

HO-scale 3-Bay Covered Hopper in Southern Pacific livery, designed for realistic freight operations on HO layouts. This model captures the look of a working SP hopper with prototypical detailing and proportions, helping create authentic yard and mainline scenes.

Features include separately applied round roof hatches and factory-applied wire grab irons, plus a fully detailed underframe with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing. The car rides on 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for smooth operation. It is weighted for stable tracking and finished with accurate paint and printing to resemble an in-service car, including a photo-etched roof walk and detailed outlets. It is primed for grime weathering, offering a ready starting point for adding rust and dirt, and it runs reliably on layouts with curves as small as 18 inches.
