{"product_id":"athg97165","title":"HO Trinity 3-Bay Hoppers GCCX # 1 (ATHG97165)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale Trinity 3-Bay Covered Hopper, this detailed model recreates a familiar North American freight car designed to haul dry bulk commodities. It’s built to look authentic on a layout, bringing realistic detail and dependable operation to any freight train or yard scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eTwo body styles reproduce 10-panel and 12-panel variations, with end details like a coupler cut lever and an air hose. The model includes a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir wired into the brake system, plus a photo-etched metal roofwalk for extra realism. It rides on body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, a standard draft gear box, and Genesis 100-ton trucks with animated spinning roller-bearing caps. 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on most HO track, and the car is weighted for steady performance with a minimum turning radius of 18 inches. The “Primed for grime” finish provides an in-service look—faded base colors that serve as a ready-made starting point for adding grime and rust. In prototype terms, Trinity’s 3-bay hopper designs (roughly 5,161 cubic feet) were widely used to move agricultural products and other dry goods across North America, making this model a faithful representation of a common, long-lived freight car on North American railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47927754457140,"sku":"ATHG97165","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG97165.jpg?v=1782224820","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg97165","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
