{"product_id":"rapido-ho-trinity-6241-covered-hopper-gsox-single-car","title":"Rapido 136009A HO scale Trinity 6241 Covered Hopper: GSOX - : Single Car","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlastic pellets are one of the most common commodities carried by rail in North America — virtually every manifest train hauls at least one pellet hopper, and team tracks across the continent routinely hold long cuts of them waiting to unload. Beginning in 1997, Trinity built a larger \"high-cube\" 6,221 cubic-foot pellet hopper to supplement aging four-bay cars, and a slightly enlarged 6,241 cubic-foot version followed. Tens of thousands of these hoppers are in service today, and Trinity is still building the 6,241 variant — making this one of the most ubiquitous modern freight cars on the network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRapido's HO Trinity 6221\/6241 is the first modern plastic pellet hopper available as a fully detailed ready-to-run model. Both 6,221 and 6,241 carbody variations are tooled, with multiple roof-hatch styles and arrangements, multiple outlet-gate designs, etched-metal roof walks and end walkways, full end-cage detail, and separately applied factory-installed grab irons. A polybag of spare hatches and outlet gates is included so modelers can modify cars for specific eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCars are offered as single cars or six-packs with prototypical car numbers per scheme. Semi-scale metal knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks with profiled metal wheelsets come standard. Suggested minimum radius is 18\". Pre-orders require a 25% deposit; balance collected when stock arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO Trinity 6241 Covered Hopper: GSOX - : Single Car\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo carbody designs: 6,221 cu.ft. and 6,241 cu.ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple roof-hatch styles and arrangements; multiple outlet-gate designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched-metal roof walks and end walkways; full end-cage detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare hatches and outlet gates included for era-specific modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied factory-installed metal grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-scale metal knuckle couplers; free-rolling trucks with profiled metal wheelsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable as singles and six-packs; 18\" minimum radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e📦 \u003cstrong\u003ePreorder details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nExpected ship date: see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rapidotrains.ca\/product-delivery-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRapido Product Delivery Schedule\u003c\/a\u003e for the latest dates\u003cbr\u003e\n25% deposit required at checkout, balance charged when product ships.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreorder cancellation: 7 days from order date; deposit non-refundable after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/collections\/rapido\"\u003eRapido Trains\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/collections\/ho-scale\"\u003eHO scale collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/collections\/preorders\"\u003eall preorders\u003c\/a\u003e.
