The HO Scale Atlas 20006850 Trinity 3230 Covered Hopper in Cargill Salt CLSX #3203 livery 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 a late - 1990s Thrall Car base design. Its smaller size allows it to carry heavier loads like cement and different grades of fly ash. Most of these cars are used by Railcar (Leasing) companies or Shippers. Key features include 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 HO Scale Atlas Trinity 3230 Covered Hopper is easy. It's ready to run right out of the box, so you can quickly add it to your model train setup. When handling the hopper, be gentle with the separately applied wire grab irons and cut levers as they are delicate. Avoid dropping or applying too much force on the etched metal roofwalks. To keep it looking great, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. If there are any stubborn marks, you can use a mild cleaning solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading. With proper care, this covered hopper will be a great addition to your collection for a long time.
