Have you seen our all-new Rivet Counter HO Scale Trinity RD-6 Coal Hoppers?

These modern rapid-discharge hoppers are a staple of today’s railroading, moving coal in everything from mixed freights to massive unit trains across North America.

One standout prototype: Scherer Electric’s RWSX 23524–23937, built in 2003 for service to Georgia Power’s Plant Scherer. These 4,200 cu. ft. Trinity RD-series hoppers regularly haul Powder River Basin coal east to the Southeast - and many are still in service more than 20 years later.

Our Rivet Counter model is loaded with detail:
• Separately applied grab irons and precision-molded end cages
• ASF Motion Control 100-ton trucks with rotating Timken bearing caps
• Magnetized removable coal load
• Maximum weight with full interior detail

Roadnames and Paint Schemes:
• BNSF/Heritage III
• BNSF/Heritage III/Double Rotary
• Georgia Power/GALX
• Norfolk Southern/H66
• Scherer Electric/RWSX
• South Carolina Public Service Authority/SCWX

Our all-new Rivet Counter HO Scale CSX Wabtec CM44AC is coming to the Rivet Counter line - and one of the key focus points of this model is the raised radiator grilles and shutter system, one of the most visible upgrades of CSX’s rebuild program.

Rebuilt from CSX’s AC4400CW fleet, the CM44ACs feature raised radiator grilles with adjustable shutters that improve cooling and give these locomotives their distinctly modern Wabtec appearance. This model and our all-new UP C44ACM are the first rebuilds to accurately capture this signature feature in HO Scale.

Model Features:
• Raised radiator grilles & shutter system
• ET44-style wide cab with relocated nose door
• Four-window cab layout
• Revised long-hood cabinets
• Smooth performance with industry-leading LED lighting

Paint Schemes:
