Tangent Scale Models HO 21028-02 Pullman-Standard PS-2 4427 High Side Covered Hopper Missouri–Kansas–Texas 'Delivery Red 4-1968' MKT #9608

Missouri-Kansas-Texas MKT 'Delivery Red 4-1968' replicates the as-delivered red paint of the MKT. 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.

Prototype Information:

During 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.
