{"product_id":"athg97160","title":"HO Trinity 3-Bay Hoppers KRIX #56135 (ATHG97160)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper is a detailed HO-scale model that reproduces Trinity Steel’s iconic three-bay covered hopper, built for hauling dry bulk goods on modern model railroads. It’s offered in two body styles representing 10-panel and 12-panel variations and features authentic details such as a photo-etched metal roofwalk, body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing. Genesis 100-ton trucks with spinning roller bearing caps ride on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and the car is weighted for stable operation with an 18-inch minimum radius on HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003ePrimed for grime models, the car presents a replicated look of in-service equipment with faded base colors matched to the prototype, providing an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. The real-world counterpart—a 5161 cubic-foot three-bay hopper introduced in the mid-1990s—carried agricultural products, sugar, and dry chemicals across North America and remains a common sight on Class 1 and short-line railroads. With authentic detailing and faithful proportions, this HO-scale hopper helps create a believable, era-appropriate freight scene on any layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47927754424372,"sku":"ATHG97160","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG97160.jpg?v=1782224804","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg97160","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
