PS-4000 Covered Hopper -- Southern Pacific #493529 PRE-ORDER
The Prototype
The Pullman-Standard PS-2CD 4000 cubic foot covered hopper was produced between 1962 and 1964, and remained in service throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico until the early 2000s. One of the most distinctive Pullman covered hoppers, this common 100-ton car is used in grain, fertilizer, and other bulk services. BLMA Models is the first manufacturer to offer this unique model in N Scale! With more than 2,000 prototypes placed into service, the BLMA Models N Scale replica is a perfect addition to your layout or collection.
- Southern Pacific (SP)
Painted in the gray “Houston repaint” scheme from the later 1970's! These cars - available in three road numbers - feature the distinctive large “Southern Pacific” centered on the car in black, as well as the bright yellow box with legible “Interior Coated for Edible or Chemical Commodity” lettering. Southern Pacific cars still operate on UP rails, and SP ordered very similar 3920cc hoppers from Pullman-Standard that are virtually identical to the PS-2CD 4000.
- The Models
We're kicking things up a notch! Not only is this model the first PS-4000 ever produced in N Scale, these first-class models feature some innovative features - in fact, a FIRST for N Scale! Along with the fine-scale attention to detail you've come to know from BLMA Models, these models ride on our ALL-NEW 100-Ton ASF Ride Control trucks and ALL-NEW scale profile, metal wheels! Furthermore, these models feature body-mounted Micro-Trains couplers for superb operation!

The Prototype
Spine cars are one of the most recognizable freight cars on the rails today. Named after their simple, spine-like appearance, these versatile cars carry anything from highway trailers, to international, corrugated containers.
Trinity RAF53C 5 Unit 53' Spine Car Set -- TTAX #555095 PRE-ORDER
- Prototype
Built in late 1997 by Trinity Rail for TTX, these 5-Unit Spine Car's feature TTAX reporting marks. While very similar to other 53' Trinity Spine Cars, the "RAF53C" class boasts nearly 250, 5-car sets on the TTX roster.
- The Models
Finally! A ready-to-run spine car in N Scale! Don't worry, we've done our homework! As always, this project started with actual blueprints and measurements; the result is 100% authentic dimensions. Furthermore, like the prototype, the N Scale models were designed for versatility.
The models feature a die-cast metal frame and dozens of separately applied plastic and etched-metal components. From there, each car is painted to exact TTX yellow and lettered as appropriate for the RAF53C fleet.
These cars ride on our all-new 70-Ton ASF Ride Control truck with fine-scale metal wheels! On top of that, the cars feature body mounted Micro-Trains couplers! You can bet that empty or loaded, these cars will track, and look great as they glide down your rails.
