I think Weaver sells PS-2 low side covered hoppers. Does or has anyone made PS-2 high side covered hoppers in O scale and/or for 3 rail? I used to live in Rochester Mn and saw a lot of PS-2 covered hoppers. But there was a mix of low side and high side hoppers. DM+E hauls a lot of grain, especially in the fall. Boyd near St.Paul

I have a lot of Weaver hoppers, and a bunch of PS-2’s. I also have a lot of ACF’s. Are you sure the ones that had higher sides were Pullman Standard? As far as I know Weaver only has one model. I think Atlas makes something a little different.

I saw an article in MR magazine, of what year + month I don’t remember, but they said there was Pullman Standard low side and high side covered hoppers. I found a drawing of the high side model at paintshop.railfan.net ,title PS-2 CD 4750 High-Side Covered Hopper. The ones I saw on the DM+E in Rochester looked identical in basic design accept high sides and low sides. Boyd.

I forgot to mention the 3 bay low side PS-2 hoppers I have seen pictures of are PS-2 CD 4427. I have 2 Weaver ACF Center Flow 4 bay covered hoppers in BN green for sale if you are interested. They are the kit form 4 piece versions I bought them in 87 or 88.

I might be interested in in buying those, are they 3 rail or 2 rail trucks? From the 80’s i’m guessing 2 rail.

They have plastic roller bearing 3 rail trucks with fixed couplers. My email is below. Boyd.
