HO-scale Athearn PS 4740 Covered Hopper is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model for HO layouts, designed to represent a PS 4740 covered hopper in everyday freight service.

Equipped with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours to roll on most brands of track, and roller-bearing trucks, this car is weighted for reliable, steady operation. Razor-sharp painting and printing give a crisp, prototype-like appearance, and a minimum radius of 18 inches ensures smooth running on layouts with tighter curves. Primed for grime, it features a duplicated look and feel of in-service equipment with faded base colors matched to the prototype, making it a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust.
