Pullman-Standard delivered 300 cars to the Katy in 1968. The models are equipped with original Miner outlet gates along with an Apex running board and end crossover platforms. The carbody features bold MKT graphics along with all that accurate Pullman-Standard data. If you look closely at the ACI label, you will notice that it is mounted on a larger plate, raised from the car side. We have carefully duplicated this little detail. Equipped with 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with truck-mounted brake beams and rotating Brenco-6 caps, these Katy covered hoppers are hard to beat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eFeatures for our PS PS-2CD 4427 High Side Covered Hopper replicas include:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eDimensional accuracy – designed from Pullman-Standard plans and verified with field measurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eHighly correct true to life colors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eHyper-Accurate lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eNear-scale draft gear box with beautifully-rendered side key detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eGenuine Kadee scale scale-head couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eMultiple road numbers for each scheme where appropriate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eSee through running boards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eEtched metal crossover platforms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eRoad-specific details for each scheme: 6 different outlet gates, 2 different sets of roof hatches, 2 different running board end supports, jacking pad\/tow loop options, 2 different crossover platform options, 2 different end ladder options, 2 different brake wheels, 2 different side air line options and 2 different center sill options.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eBeautiful details – wire ladder rungs, wire grab irons, and wire coupler lift bars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eSeparate air hoses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePrecision Tangent Scale Models 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with roadname-specific rotating bearing caps and separate brake beam part\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eCNC-machined 36” wheels with accurate front and back profile detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eReplacement 36” semi-scale wheels for our rotating bearing cap trucks are available separately from Tangent in either blackened or nickel-silver finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eRecommended age 14 years and older\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eDuring the 1960s, railcar builders experimented with covered hopper designs to satisfy the evolving needs of shippers as they moved away from forty-foot box cars to bulk transport railcars. Pullman’s PS-2 design evolution continued in 1966 when the 'Low Side' 4427 was replaced with the 'High Side' version. The 4427 'High Side' was visually distinctive with its high slope bays and center of gravity, which sped the unloading process of bulk commodities. The 'High Side' 4427 included 13 exterior side posts, similar to its sister car design, the PS-2 4740, which had 16 side posts. Both designs were introduced in 1966, and 4427 'High Side' production ended in 1971 after delivery of approximately 12,000 cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tangent HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320005046425,"sku":"TSM21028-04","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/21028-3.4-logo-1200__88088.1700094947.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784151968","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/tangent-scale-models-ho-21028-04-pullman-standard-ps-2-4427-high-side-covered-hopper-missouri-kansas-texas-delivery-red-4-1968-mkt-9652","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
