HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper C&O #2063 (ATHG73613)

An HO-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper in Chesapeake & Ohio livery, car number 2063, this model captures a classic bulk-commodity hopper used on North American rails. The PS-2 design, introduced by Pullman-Standard in the 1950s, carried bulk loads such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets, reflecting the era’s utilitarian freight network.

Detailing includes separately applied round roof hatches, a photo-etched roof walk, and factory-applied wire grab irons, along with full underframe detail, a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with plumbing. The model rides on machined 33" nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, with trainline hoses, brake hoses, and other hardware for added realism. It is weighted for smooth, reliable operation and painted and printed to prototypical realism. Designed for HO layouts, it runs on standard track with an 18" minimum radius and is compatible with most popular track brands.
