The Tangent Scale Models HO Scale Frisco SLSF #79986 PS4750 Covered Hopper recreates a Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4750 from the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway's 1977 covered hopper fleet. Finished in the SLSF “Delivery Gray 6-1977” scheme, this highly detailed HO Scale freight car captures the classic Frisco appearance with accurate lettering, mechanical details and road-specific features.
Tangent's model represents the prototype with a gray body and exceptionally detailed Frisco graphics, including the railroad's distinctive lettering, reporting marks and finely reproduced capacity and data stencils. Even small details such as the Roman-style lettering used for the CAPY data and tiny PPG paint stencil are represented to capture the appearance of the prototype.

The Frisco PS4750 covered hopper is an excellent choice for modelers recreating grain and dry bulk commodity traffic beginning in the late 1970s. These cars also enjoyed long service lives after the Frisco era, with examples retaining their SLSF gray paint surviving through Burlington Northern and into the BNSF era well into the 2000s.
That longevity makes SLSF #79986 useful across several generations of railroad operations, whether running behind Frisco power or appearing years later as an aging freight car mixed into BN, BNSF or connecting-road consists.
