The Atlas 4427 Covered Hopper in N Scale, representing Union Pacific #21746 (Part#150-50004604), is a must - have for model railroad enthusiasts. Introduced by Pullman in the mid - 1960s, the PS - 4427 low - side covered hopper was crucial for large grain - hauling railroads and popular among leasing companies. It was also used to transport malt and sand, adding to its versatility. Many of these hoppers had eye - catching paint schemes with big logos. This model features new gate tracks on the chute, an upgraded brake wheel, a sturdy body, detailed brake wheel and air reservoir, crisp lettering, accurate paint schemes, and knuckle couplers.

Using this N - scale Atlas covered hopper is a breeze. Just place it on your model railroad tracks and let it blend in with your other trains. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the detailed parts like the brake wheel and the knuckle couplers. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and remove any dust. If the paint starts to look a bit dull over time, you can use a very light - colored model paint to touch it up, but be careful not to cover the lettering. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in top condition.
