Tangent Scale Models HO 21036-05 Pullman-Standard PS-2 4427 High Side Covered Hopper Milwaukee Road 'Delivery 3-1967' MILW #97922

Our February 2024 production of our Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4427 High Side Covered Hopper includes SEVEN all-new RTR paint schemes

Milwaukee Road MILW 'Delivery 3-1967' wears the classic yellow and black graphics as applied to this 300-car order from Pullman-Standard in 1967. Tangent’s previous run from 2018 featured Milwaukee’s 1968 order of cars with gravity-pneumatic outlet gates. We have carefully replicated the lettering on every panel, bay and center sill from bold MILWAUKEE ROAD to the tiniest PS lot 9174 stencil number. All of the lettering is present and accurate. These cars feature Miner gravity gates and a PS ribbed-style roof hatch. The model also features 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating Timken caps. Each SKU number varies with CAPY, liner stencil and related Pullman date information. We hear you Milwaukee Road modelers, and your continued requests for more MILW Tangent covered hoppers in our correct shade of Federal Yellow.

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.
