This Atlas 20006842 Trinity 3230 Covered Hopper in HO scale, with CIT Group CBFX #440507 in gray and black, is a great addition to your collection. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The Trinity 3230 Pressure Differential covered hopper is a smaller version of TrinityRail's 5660 PD, developed from a base design by Thrall Car in the late 1990s. Its smaller size allows it to carry heavier loads like cement and different grades of fly ash, mostly operated by railcar leasing companies or shippers. It comes with amazing features such as all - new tooling, ready - to - run functionality, injection - molded plastic construction, fine - scale details, separately applied wire grab irons and cut levers, etched metal roofwalks, crisp painting and printing, and metal couplers.

Using this Atlas 20006842 Trinity 3230 Covered Hopper is easy. Just place it on your HO scale track and it's ready to roll. Since it's ready - to - run, you don't need to do any complex setup. When handling it, be gentle with the separately applied wire grab irons and cut levers as they are delicate. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and the etched metal roofwalks. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the crisp painting and printing. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any warping of the injection - molded plastic parts. Also, check the metal couplers regularly to make sure they are in good working condition.
