HO ATH PS 4740 Covered Hopper BNSF 431434 (ATH-2362)
An HO-scale Athearn PS-4740 covered hopper in BNSF livery, road number 431434, designed to add authentic bulk-car service to an HO freight roster. Fully assembled and ready to run, this model captures the look of a real in-service car with crisp detailing and accurate color.
On the track it features body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on most HO brands, roller-bearing trucks, and a weighted chassis for stable hauling. The razor-sharp painting and printing enhance realism, and a minimum radius of 18 inches keeps it workable on compact layouts. Primed for grime models, it duplicates the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors matched to the prototype, making it an ideal starting point for weathering grime and rust to taste.
