HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper AGPX #2 Model (ATHG97158)

HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper is an HO-scale model of a 3-bay covered hopper designed to haul bulk loads such as agricultural products and dry chemicals on North American railroads. It faithfully captures Trinity's widely seen 3-bay design, making it a realistic addition to any modern freight scene.

The model offers two body styles reflecting 10-panel and 12-panel variations, with end details including a coupler cut lever and air hose on each end. It features a complete brake system with separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir wired into the plumbing, plus a photo-etched metal roofwalk. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, a standard draft gear box with a screw-on lid, Genesis 100-ton trucks with animated spinning roller bearing caps, and 36-inch machined wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on most HO track. Weighted for steady handling and capable of navigating an 18-inch minimum radius, this car is primed for grime—a ready starting point for weathering to resemble an in-service look common on North American railroads.
