HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper B&O #628038 (ATHG73614)

HO-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper in Baltimore and Ohio livery (B&O 628038) is a detailed model faithful to Pullman-Standard’s PS-2 bulk-car design. Built to haul commodities such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets, this hopper adds authentic mid‑century freight realism to an HO layout and pairs well with other era-appropriate equipment.

Features include separately applied round roof hatches, a photo-etched roof walk, and factory-applied wire grab irons, plus full underframe detail with an air-brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing. It rides on 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, along with lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and hardware. Weighted for smooth operation on standard HO-track, it requires a minimum 18-inch radius and is finished with accurate painting and printing to capture the PS-2’s distinctive silhouette.
