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 “phased approach” PS4750 models, not “one-size fits all” models. This release shines a spotlight on 1973-1974 Pullman production. Some of these cars feature a brand-new Tangent body variation for cars to handle the combination open-hole and closed-hole side posts on the same body.

Our November 2025 production includes eleven total schemes, with eras spanning 1973 to today.   Don’t miss out on the Tangent Scale Models PS4750, the most relevant freight car of the 1970s-1980s period.
