The Tangent Scale Models HO Scale Union Pacific PS4750 Covered Hopper UP #73700 recreates a veteran Pullman-Standard covered hopper as it appeared in modern Union Pacific service. Part of UP's 1974 Pullman-built group, #73700 retained its original Pullman delivery paint while receiving later updates that allowed the car to continue operating well into the 2000s.
Tangent models UP #73700 in its 2005+ appearance, complete with conspicuity stripes applied over a weathered Union Pacific gray body, faded warning stencils and a separately applied AEI tag. The model also reflects prototype equipment changes made during the car's long service life, including smooth replacement roof hatches and modern bolt-on outlet gates.
