HO Trinity 3-Bay Hoppers KRIX # 2 (ATHG97162)
HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper, KRIX #2 is an HO-scale replica of Trinity Steel’s iconic 3-bay covered hopper, built to deliver realistic bulk-car service on North American layouts. The model captures a common design used to transport agricultural products, sugar, and dry chemicals and is available in two body styles—10-panel and 12-panel variations—complete with a photo-etched metal roofwalk and body-mounted, scale-knuckle couplers. It’s a convincing choice for in-service scenes, yard switching, or long-unit trains on modern HO networks.
On the track, the car rides on Genesis 100-ton trucks with animated spinning roller bearing caps and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable performance on a wide range of HO track. It’s weighted for smooth handling and includes details such as a coupler cut lever and air hose on each end, a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing, plus a standard draft gear box with a screw-mounted lid. The minimum radius is 18 inches, making it layout-friendly, while the “Primed for grime†finish provides an authentic starting point for weathering grime and rust to mimic a well-used, in-service car.
