HO PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper, SP #401970 (ATHG73625)

This HO-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper reproduces Pullman-Standard’s PS-2 design as Southern Pacific No. 401970. Built for bulk-haul service, this model captures the practical, workaday character of mid-20th‑century freight cars used to move grain, cement, and plastic pellets across North American rails.

It features a suite of scale-accurate details, including separately applied round roof hatches, a photo-etched roof walk, factory-applied wire grab irons, and detailed outlets, plus a separate brake cylinder, valve, and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing. The car rides on 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on most HO track, with weight added for steady performance and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers. Full underframe detail, a highly detailed injection-molded body, and prototypical painting and printing enhance realism, while an 18-inch minimum radius keeps it compatible with a wide range of HO layouts that haul bulk traffic.
