Micro-Trains - Z Scale - PS-2 Covered Hopper - 2-Bay - 70 Ton - Northern Pacific (NP) # 75427 - gray with black lettering - (April 2011) (SKU 489-53100160)

   This PS-2 70 ton two-bay covered hopper is painted light gray with black logo and lettering. Pullman-Standard had built these hoppers in 1959 and had them available for sale when Northern Pacific came looking for quick additions to its fleet of covered hoppers. This particular hopper was serviced in November, 1967 and runs on roller bearing trucks. The principle commodity handled is cement with other typical lading being sand, potash, soda ash, lime, alumina, fertilizers, dolomite, soap, salt, plastic pellets and flour. Since many of these materials were highly corrosive, the PS-2 was designed to withstand their inherent effects and keep maintenance requirements to a minimum.
