N PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper SSW #76098 (ATH28362)
This N-scale PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hopper model reproduces Pullman-Standard’s classic bulk-carrier design for mid-century North American railways. It’s designed for use on N-scale layouts, letting modelers place an authentic bulk freight car into grain, cement, or plastic-pellet operations and scenes.
Details include separately applied round roof hatches, a brake wheel, and a walkway, plus outlets and braces, with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on most tracks, and the minimum radius of 11 inches makes it compatible with a wide range of layouts. The PS-2 design dominated the covered hopper market beginning in the 1950s, built to carry bulk commodities and serving on North American rails for decades.
