A Weathered Freight Car Ready for Service
Introduced in 1967, the Pullman-Standard PS 4740 covered hopper was designed to provide greater capacity than the earlier PS 4427 while maintaining outstanding reliability. These versatile freight cars became common throughout North America and remain in service today. Athearn's Primed for Grime® finish recreates the faded paint and lightly weathered appearance of prototype freight cars that have spent years in regular service, making this model an ideal addition to any HO Scale layout.
