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.  

Missouri Pacific (MP) “Orig. 12-72” in the original gray scheme with the “buzzsaw” Missouri Pacific Lines logo. This car series represents the first MP production cars delivered from Pullman-Standard, and were from lot 9621. They come with some new brake detail parts tooled especially for this phase of car. While some may say that Tangent does not offer MP models, that is not the case. These original gray cars still remain in service in original paint in 2017, serving Union Pacific, and serve deep into the US and Mexican rail networks. We are proud to offer these replicas with 12 road numbers. 

 Features for these PS4750 replicas include:

• Dimensional accuracy – scaled from Pullman-Standard plans and verified with field measurements
• Highly correct “true to life” colors
• “Hyper-Accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement
• Genuine Kadee® scale couplers
