HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper MILW #98008 Plastic Model (ATHG73621)

This HO-scale Pullman-Standard PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper, Milwaukee Road No. 98008, is a finely detailed model for HO layouts. It faithfully represents a mid-century bulk-carrier designed to haul commodities such as grain, cement, and plastic pellets, capturing the practical look and function of the PS-2 design that dominated the era.

The model is packed with prototypical details: separately applied round roof hatches, a photo-etched roof walk, and factory-applied wire grab irons, plus full underframe detailing with air-brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder plumbing. It’s weighted for smooth operation and rides on machined nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours (33 inches) for reliable performance on most HO track. Body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers, lift bars, trainlines and brake hoses add authentic coupling, while accurate painting and printing enhance the prototypical look. With an 18-inch minimum radius, it’s ready to roll on typical HO layouts.
