HO ATH PS 4740 Covered Hopper GN #172205 (ATH-2367)
The HO-scale Athearn PS-4740 Covered Hopper in GN livery (car GN 172205) is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model that brings a classic 4740-series covered hopper to your layout. It rolls on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on popular HO track and uses body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers for smooth, prototypical coupling. With roller-bearing trucks and a weighted chassis, this model delivers steady, realistic performance, complemented by sharp painting and printing for a convincing in-service look.
Primed for grime-style detailing, the finish recreates the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors matched to the prototype, making it an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. It’s designed to navigate HO layouts smoothly, with a minimum curve radius of 18 inches, helping it fit into a wide range of track plans.
