Trinity hopper

I bought 12 of them...by far, the best plastic O gauge car ever produced.  Great detail.

There's another thread or two about these hoppers...most agree they are great.  Some say the KCS variety was not actually a Trinity car...but, close enough.

They are the most expensive single car(s) I'll ever buy.  With prices continuing to rise in all lines...it is likely these were the last Atlas O Master Line cars I'll ever be able to afford...of those that may interest me...meaning the new Coil Cars do not interest me.

Just one person bought these?

I currently have 5 on order myself. Can't wait to get them.
I saw the UP and Canadian first hand the other day at one of my local hobby shops. The detail on them is really something to see. There just seems to a extra intricate level of detail that stands on these compared some of the offerings by other vendors.

I would've picked up the UP at the time except I had already maxed out my allowance for the day picking up the MTH GE Evo and an MTH box car.

Also, price was MSRP and I was able to get the ones I have on order for a bit less.

Someone on another post somewhere had made a comment about how Atlas currently has some of the best model of rolling stock there. That thought was made quite apparent when I saw these.

I've got several of them, and as said ealrier, the best freight car on the market- by far. Loads of details and as good as it gets. I say order as many of them as you can and have yourself a sweet train-

Good Day, 

I purchased the KCS Trinity 5161 Hoppers for my grain train. Great detail and the paint job is fantastic. Now all I need are some KCS SD70ACe's! Lionel how about a 2nd production and perhaps the Gray SD70ACe's with the red letters.
