This AHM HO-scale freight car model is based on a Pullman-Standard
design for a 70-ton 47-foot Covered Hopper.
Following this car's departure from the AHM line, a kit version surfaced from another maker.
The January 1985 Model Railroader includes a review of the then-new Robin's Rails PS-2 Covered Hopper. The review states
that the Robin's Rails kit used tooling from the former AHM model.
The same molds for this PS-2 car are later found among the
Con-Cor line of trains around 1990. The Con-Cor models were made in America and include this noted on the origin marks
down the car's underframe.
