HO GEN Trinity 5161 Covered Hopper BNSF Railway SP&S Heritage #482111 (ATHG-1055)

HO Scale Trinity 5161 Covered Hopper in BNSF SP&S Heritage livery is a detailed model of a three-bay, 5,161-cubic-foot covered hopper designed to haul dry goods such as agricultural products and dry chemicals. Introduced around 1995, this design became a mainstay on North American railroads, and this model faithfully captures its proportions and heritage for authentic HO-scale operation and display.

Details include separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing, coupler cut levers and air hoses on each end, and a photo-etched roofwalk. End cages and etched end platforms are applied for extra realism, while a standard-size draft gear box with a screw-mounted lid and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure smooth handling. The model rides on Genesis 100-ton trucks with spinning roller bearing caps, plus 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable performance on popular HO track. It is weighted for stable running and designed to operate on minimum radii of 18 inches, with a recommended radius of 22 inches for best results.
