The Atlas 50004603 4427 Covered Hopper is a fantastic N - scale model of the Union Pacific train car #21710 (Part#150 - 50004603). Introduced by Pullman in the mid - 1960s, the PS - 4427 low - side covered hopper was a key car for large grain - hauling railroads and a top pick for leasing companies. It was also used to transport malt and sand, increasing its versatility. Many of these hoppers had eye - catching paint schemes with big logos or lettering, and some are still in use today. This model comes with several great features. It has brand - new gate tracks on the chute, an upgraded brake wheel, a strong body, a detailed brake wheel and air reservoir, sharp lettering, accurate paint schemes, and knuckle couplers.

Using this N - scale Atlas covered hopper model is easy. You can simply place it on your model railroad track and let it blend in with your other train cars. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid any damage to the detailed parts like the brake wheel and knuckle couplers. To keep it looking great, you can use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may scratch the paint or damage the details. If you want to clean more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading over time.
