The Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4750 covered hopper was the largest production covered hopper design in history, and is therefore statistically important to virtually any modeler from the 1970s to the present.  Tangent Scale Models continues the evolution of our PS4750 models, and we are pleased to announce the next release of the industry-leading HO Scale PS-2CD 4750 covered hopper.  This ALL NEW body variation with solid side posts focuses on the early production cars with their associated production trends and car details.  

Illinois Terminal (ITC) "Original 12-73" is now available in what is arguably one of the craziest schemes to adorn a PS4750 covered hopper.  This car is painted in the classic Illinois Terminal yellow carbody, and yes, we have included all of the detail colors as well.  These include the red underbody and vertical slope sheets, and green appliances such as grab irons, steps and step supports, brakewheel, and underbody brake components.  And of course, we include the red roofwalk grab irons.  As if that were not enough, we include all of the various colors of lettering on the car, including green, red, and yellow.  These ITC replicas from PS lot 9682 are available now with 6 road numbers!  Don’t miss out on “The Road of Personalized Services!”
