HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper DJTX # 2 (ATHG97150)

HO-scale Trinity 3-Bay Hopper, DJTX 2, is a detailed model of a three-bay covered hopper designed to carry bulk dry goods such as agricultural products, sugar, and dry chemicals on model railroads. The design is offered in two body styles reflecting 10-panel and 12-panel variants, giving realistic options for different eras and layouts.

Authentic detailing includes a coupler cut lever and air hose on each end, a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing, and a photo-etched metal roofwalk. It rides on body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers and Genesis 100-ton trucks with animated spinning roller bearing caps, while 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on most HO track. Weighing is tuned for stable handling and it can negotiate minimum radii of 18 inches. The finish is primed for grime models—designed to resemble in-service equipment with faded base colors and ready for adding grime and rust. This model follows Trinity Steel’s widely used three-bay hopper design introduced in the mid-1990s, a staple of bulk-car traffic across North America.
