Tangent Scale Models is pleased to announce that our HO scale Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4000 covered hopper is back and is available now in NINE new paint schemes! (Only 5 are shown above!) One of the most highly-demanded freight car models in today’s marketplace, and never before available in HO scale plastic, our Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4000 covered hopper is available for sale NOW at www.tangentscalemodels.com!
As a refresher, Pullman-Standard originally produced these distinctive covered hoppers between 1962 and 1964, and they remained in service throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico until the early 2000s wearing both Class 1 and lease paint schemes. The Tangent Scale Models HO-scale replica is a perfect addition to your layout or collection. Our NEW Ready to Run product release for May 2010 includes the following NINE roadnames:
