HO GEN Trinity 5161 Covered Hopper BNSF Railway Frisco Heritage #483110 (ATHG-1056)

HO-scale Trinity 5161-cubic-foot three-bay covered hopper in BNSF Frisco Heritage livery is a detailed reproduction of a widely used North American dry-bulk hopper car. Designed for HO layouts, it brings authentic scale and a historic paint scheme to freight operations on your model railroad.

Key features include a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing, coupler cut levers and air hoses on each end, and a photo-etched metal roofwalk with end cages and etched end platforms. The model rides on Genesis 100-ton trucks with spinning roller-bearing caps, 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and is weighted for stable, smooth operation on HO track. Couplers are body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckles, and the standard draft gear box uses a screw-on lid. For layout planning, a minimum 18-inch radius is recommended (22 inches or more is preferred for best performance).
