shortliner Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 From BLMA site http://www.blmamodels.com/cgi-bin/webstore/shop.cgi?c=blog.htm&t=main.htm&ud=AQMEAw4AAAcFBxQUEBEcHAABBwECAA0FCQkTEQAA Hi Everyone! We're more than excited to introduce our 5th body-style in HO and 11th in N scale! After years of extensive research and development, the mighty Trinity 5660 PD Covered Hoppers will be coming to a layout near you! The 5660 Pressure Differential (PD) Covered Hopper was introduced in 1999, by Thrall Industries, as the most advanced design in the evolution of Pressure Differential Covered Hopper, a special breed within the covered hopper family. Production still continues today under the TrinityRail brand, following Trinity’s purchase of Thrall, with nearly 4,000 examples already built. The 5660 PD can be seen rolling throughout North America. These iconic models will be packed with features such as: • Ready-To-Run • Fine-Scale Detail • Prototypical Ride Height • Installed Train line Air Hoses (HO & N) • Installed Coupler Cut Levers (HO & N) • Body-Mounted Knuckle Couplers • 6 Numbers Each in 4 Paint Schemes If you're coming to the National Train Show in Portland next month, stop by our booth to see pre-production test shots! We will take pre-orders for these models until September 15th - see your favorite dealer or order direct today! These models are expected Q2, 2016.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2015 Was looking at these earlier today. Look very nice and tempting despite having way too many freight cars in both HO and N scales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 despite having way too many freight cars in both HO and N scales Too many? What alien concept is this? That does look like a nice item. Modern covered hoppers are always acceptable. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDB Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've provisionally ordered 3 at $52 each not cheap but if the tropicana reefers are anything to go by they will be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 They look very nice, but luckily for my wallet are too modern for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
