The new design was visually quite different - this one featured curved sides versus previously familiar rib-sided design adopted from Pullman-Standard. The new 5161 cubic-foot capacity design along with the recently introduced allowable 286,000 lbs GRL (Gross Rail Loading) brought a new standard to the industry (Trinitys competition were ACF and Thrall).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eInitial deliveries went to Trinitys leasing component and to ADM Transportation, a large private company heavily invested in grain products. Within months, deliveries to the other grain companies began rolling down the steel rails. Eventually, the traditional grain railroads jumped in on the game with BNSF leading the pack. \u003cbr\u003eThe 5161 grain variants have long trough hatches usually broken into sections for easy opening. The outlets on grain cars are usually gravity-only and vary by manufacturer. Fixed shaker brackets can be found on the hopper sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHowever, not all the 5161s are for grain-products. BNSF has a good-sized fleet of cars used for sugar transport that feature round-hatches in elongated hatches, gravity-pneumatic gates and have special interior lining. Other variations include round-hatch only cars for chemical transport and cars being used for the potash and fertilizer industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCurrently, the design is still in production with over 27,000 units being delivered and this model stands as being \u003ci\u003ethe most popular grain car in todays market.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRoad name specific details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMetal stirrups and grab irons\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTrucks have rotating bearing caps\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEtched-metal roof walk and safety platforms\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDifferent hatch styles as appropriate per road name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDie-cast trucks and couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAuthentically detailed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLength: Approx. 14.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHeight: Approx. 3.9\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMinimum diameter curve (3-Rail): O-54\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Please note: Atlas \"O\" scale couplers can also be used on both 2-rail and 3-rail versions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48461868269809,"sku":"3001925-2","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/2330\/3564\/files\/3002925_81e0298f-fd81-42aa-8494-1f466404189d.jpg?v=1785506207","url":"https:\/\/bradystrains.com\/products\/atlas-3001925-2-norfolk-southern-ns-trinity-5161-cu-ft-covered-hopper-gray-black-294843-limited-o-scale-new","provider":"Brady's Train Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
