The HO scale Atlas 20006848 Trinity 3230 Covered Hopper - LaFarge North America LAFX #60170 comes in gray and black. Note that the picture might show a different road number. This Trinity 3230 Pressure Differential covered hopper is a smaller version of TrinityRail's 5660 PD, developed from the base design by Thrall Car in the late 1990s. Its smaller size allows it to be loaded with heavy materials like cement and different grades of fly ash. Most of these cars are used by Railcar (Leasing) companies or Shippers. It features all - new tooling, is ready to run, made of injection - molded plastic, has fine scale detail, separately applied wire grab irons and cut levers, etched metal roofwalks, crisp painting and printing, and metal couplers.

Using this HO scale covered hopper is easy. Just place it on your model train track and you're ready to go as it's ready - to - run. When loading it, you can use materials like cement or fly ash. Be careful when handling the car to avoid damaging the separately applied wire grab irons and cut levers. Also, try not to expose the car to extreme temperatures as it's made of injection - molded plastic. For maintenance, gently clean the car with a soft cloth to keep the crisp painting and printing looking good. Check the metal couplers regularly to ensure they're working properly and can connect to other train cars smoothly.
