HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper CAGX #1032 Model (ATHG97143)

HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper Car, CAGX 1032, is a detailed HO-scale replica of Trinity Steel’s 3-bay covered hopper designed to haul dry goods such as agricultural products, sugar, and other dry chemicals. The model offers two body styles—10-panel and 12-panel variations—and includes end features like coupler cut levers and air hoses, a photo‑etched metal roofwalk, and body‑mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers on a standard draft gear box.

On the rails, it rides on Genesis 100-ton trucks with animated spinning roller bearing caps and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on common HO track. It’s weighted for steady handling and has a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it layout-friendly for yards and mainlines alike. The finish is primed for grime, with faded base colors matched to the prototype and ready for additional weathering to evoke years of service. This popular 3-bay hopper design—typical of mid-1990s fleets used to move agricultural products and other dry commodities across North America—adds realism and versatility to any HO layout.
