Build realistic grain trains and classic bulk-commodity operations with Walthers Mainline HO Scale 50' Pullman-Standard PS2-CD 4427 Covered Hoppers from Fusion Scale Hobbies. Based on one of the most widely used covered hopper designs of its era, these distinctive low-side 3-bay cars are an excellent choice for modeling grain, animal feed, agricultural products, and other dry bulk freight.

Introduced in 1964 as shippers increasingly moved suitable commodities from boxcars into easier-loading covered hoppers, the Pullman-Standard PS2-CD 4427 became a familiar sight across the North American railroad network. Cars of this type remained in regular service for decades, giving modelers an exceptionally broad operating window stretching from the 1960s into the modern era.

Pullman-Standard PS2-CD 4427 3-Bay Covered Hoppers

The PS2-CD 4427 Covered Hopper combined a 4,427-cubic-foot capacity with a three-bay configuration well suited for grain, feed, and similar commodities. These cars appeared in railroad-owned fleets as well as private-owner and leasing-company schemes, creating plenty of opportunities for varied and colorful freight consists.

Operate them individually in manifest freights, assemble blocks of cars serving grain elevators and feed mills, or build larger consists representing dedicated agricultural movements. Their long service lives also make PS2-CD 4427 covered hoppers useful for modelers representing several different decades of freight railroading.
