Walthers Mainline 910-7031 50' PS-2 2893 3-Bay Covered Hopper - PC - Penn Central #883560 HO Scale

Upgrade your HO scale railroad with the Walthers Mainline 50-foot Pullman-Standard PS-2 2893 Three-Bay Covered Hopper. Introduced in the 1950s, these high-capacity cars transformed the way shippers and customers handle various loads like grain, plastic pellets, and potash. Key features include: a limited-time run of these road numbers, so order now as supplies are limited; prototypes that were in service from the 1950s to the 1990s; suitability for carrying grain, aggregates, plastic pellets, potash, and similar loads; a detailed body with separately applied round hatches, walkways, end platforms, and brake gear; correct 33' RP-25 metal wheelsets; and Proto Max(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using your Walthers Mainline covered hopper is easy. Just place it on your HO scale railroad tracks and connect it to other train cars using the Proto Max(TM) metal knuckle couplers. You can load it with different materials like tiny grain or plastic pellet models to mimic real - world cargo. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by gently dusting it with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents as they may damage the detailed body. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any warping of the body or wheels. If you notice any loose parts, such as the separately applied hatches or walkways, you can use a small amount of model glue to re - attach them. Make sure to handle the car carefully to prevent the wheels from getting bent or the couplers from getting misaligned.
