HO Trinity 3-Bay Hopper NS #294188 (ATHG97167)
HO-scale Trinity 3-Bay Hopper for Norfolk Southern is a faithful model of a common North American three-bay covered hopper, designed for realistic freight service on HO layouts. Based on the 5161-cubic-foot design introduced in the mid-1990s, this car is ideal for hauling agricultural products, sugar, and other dry commodities in unit trains or mixed consists across North American rail networks.
Authentic detailing includes two body styles representing 10-panel and 12-panel variations, end lever and air hoses on each end, a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing, and a photo-etched metal roofwalk. The model rides on Genesis 100-ton trucks with animated spinning roller bearing caps, uses body-mounted McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers, and features a standard draft gear box with a screw-mounted lid. 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours provide smooth operation on most HO track, and the chassis is weighted for stable running with a minimum radius of 18 inches. It is primed for grime—offering an in-service look with faded base colors and a ready starting point for adding grime and rust—and reflects a Trinity hopper design that has been widely used in North American unit trains since the mid-1990s.
