Tangent Scale Models HO 21037-02 Pullman-Standard PS-2 4427 High Side Covered Hopper Wisconsin Central 'Ex-Milwaukee Restencil 1987+' WC #97843
Our February 2024 production of our Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4427 High Side Covered Hopper includes SEVEN all-new RTR paint schemes
Wisconsin Central WC 'Ex-Milwaukee Restencil 1987+' throws a little bit of love to the early days of the Wisconsin Central. The WC startup freight car fleet was a rag-tag group of patched cars. Our WC model features the patches and reweigh data of a 20-year-old MILW car, including MILW 1980s data and the new WC reporting marks for its new owner. The yellow is also a slightly darker shade on the model, to reflect dirt and era-appropriate color changes. Yes, we even applied the accurate WCL Railcars Inc. lessee stencil on the bottom right corner. With an original 1967 built date, these WC Ex-MILW cars follow the details of earlier PS4427 High Side prototypes, including center sill supports between the bays and solid end running board supports. We have also applied replacement roof hatches and Morton-style crossover platforms on each end, modeling its 1980s appearance. This is cool example of 1987 Regional Railroading.

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.
