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 (Trinity’s competition were ACF and Thrall).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial deliveries went to Trinity’s 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. The 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. However, not all the 5161s are for grain-products. BNSF has\u003cbr\u003ea 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently, the design is still in production with over 27,000 units being delivered and this model stands as being the most popular grain car in today’s market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas Model Railroad Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48602019496182,"sku":"AO-3002950S","price":107.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0560\/files\/Screenshot2025-06-18at4.47.44PM.png?v=1750279749"},{"product_id":"ao-2001333","title":"Atlas O 2001333 - Trainman - 50'6\" Boxcar \"Ferromex\" (Red)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad Name: Ferromex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad Number: 50304, 50369\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Line: Premier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: O Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem: 3-Rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Prototypical non-terminating corrugated ends\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Diagonal paneled roof\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Single 10’ YSD design sliding door\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Weighted, detailed underframes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Separately-applied end ladders, brake wheels and end platforms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• True scale dimensions with accurate details \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Die-cast roller bearing trucks with rotating bearing caps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e • Die-cast couplers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Accurate painting and lettering \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Minimum diameter curve: O-31 (3-Rail)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1974, ACF® built the first box car for Railbox, a subsidiary of the Trailer Train Company.

This latest release brings together cutting-edge performance and stunning detail. Each model features a die-cast metal body for maximum weight and pulling power, metal handrails and stanchions for durability, and see-through steps that enhance realism right out of the box. Models in our Paragon4 Series raise the bar with dynamic features like variable-intensity smoke from the exhaust stack—bringing your layout to life like never before. Every locomotive is carefully crafted with prototypically accurate details tailored to each specific paint scheme. The EMD SD70ACe is the modern evolution of the SD70MAC, designed to meet stricter emissions standards while delivering 4,300 horsepower from its 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover. Often equipped with a Nathan K5LLA horn, these powerful units are seen across North America and beyond, with over 2,000 units and variants produced by EMD. Railfans and modelers alike will recognize the SD70ACe’s special place in modern railroading. Class I railroads such as Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern, and Montana Rail Link have all commissioned unique and eye-catching paint schemes for their fleets. In 2005, UP unveiled six \"Heritage\" units, each representing a predecessor railroad. In 2012, NS rolled out 20 commemorative locomotives—including 10 SD70ACes numbered 1065–1074—for its 30th anniversary. Many of these units honor veterans, first responders, and essential workers, making them both meaningful and memorable additions to any collection. In this exciting second production run, we’re offering twelve prototypical paint schemes and two fantasy schemes, each one packed with accurate detailing and distinctive character. Paragon4 models come fully equipped with sound, smoke, DCC compatibility, and built-in GoPack capacitors for smooth, uninterrupted performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50060724240630,"sku":"BLI-9760","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0560\/files\/9760_9761_FXE_SD70ACe_1-View.jpg?v=1772389644"},{"product_id":"bli-9761","title":"Broadway Limited Imports HO 9761 - EMD SD70ACe Diesel Locomotive \"Ferromex\" #4079  (w\/DCC\/Sound)","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.2172%;\"\u003eAnnounced Date:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7828%;\"\u003eMay 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.2172%;\"\u003eReleased Date:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7828%;\"\u003eOct. 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.2172%;\"\u003eIndividually Boxed:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7828%;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad Name: Ferromex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad Number: 4079\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Line: Broadway Limited Imports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: HO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog: Broadway Limited Imports May 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustry-leading Model Features:\n\nParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER \nIntegral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\nPrecision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation\nAll Wheel Electrical Pick-up\nVariable Intensity, User-Adjustable Smoke on Paragon4 Series Models\nHeavy Die Cast Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\nMetal Handrails and Stanchions with Prototypical Decoration\nPremium Caliber Painting\nPrototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers\nMany Separately Applied Details such as Grab Irons, Horn, Bell, Wipers, and Etched Metal Grills\nPrototypical Light Operation - Accurate for each Paint Scheme\nPrototypically Accurate Sounds for the EMD SD70ACe Diesel Locomotives\nMetal Kadee-Compatible Couplers (2)\nWill Operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 Rail\nModel Weight = 1.98 lbs\nMinimum Operating Radius:  18 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBroadway Limited is thrilled to announce a brand-new production run of our highly popular die-cast EMD SD70ACe diesel locomotive in HO scale!\n\nThis latest release brings together cutting-edge performance and stunning detail.
