Athearn HO Scale PS 4740 Covered Hopper – CSX #249299 (ATH2372)
The Athearn HO Scale PS 4740 Covered Hopper decorated for CSX #249299 is a finely detailed reproduction of one of the most recognizable covered hopper designs ever built. Finished with Athearn's realistic Primed for Grime® weathering, this model captures the appearance of a freight car that has spent years hauling grain, fertilizer, plastic pellets, feed, and other dry bulk commodities across the CSX system.
Ready to operate right out of the box, this Athearn Ready-To-Roll freight car features crisp factory-applied lettering, body-mounted McHenry® operating knuckle couplers, 36-inch machined metal wheelsets with RP25 contours, roller-bearing trucks, and precision weighting for dependable tracking and smooth operation. The subtle factory weathering provides a realistic in-service appearance while serving as an excellent base for additional custom weathering.

A Modern Covered Hopper for Today's Freight Trains
The Pullman-Standard PS 4740 covered hopper was introduced in 1967 as a higher-capacity successor to the popular PS 4427 design. Built to transport dry bulk commodities efficiently, these cars became staples of North American railroads and continue to operate today. Athearn's Primed for Grime® finish recreates the faded paint and lightly weathered appearance of freight cars that have seen years of revenue service, making this model an outstanding addition to any modern HO Scale layout. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
