Tangent Scale Models HO 36013-06 Trinity Industries Inc 4750CuFt Covered Hopper DGHX 'Delivery Gray 4-1993' DGHX #4041

  • Truck: Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with prototype-specific rotating bearing caps (four possible options) and separate brake beam part

  • Era: 1993-2009

DGHX “Delivery Gray 4-1993” is one of two private lease offerings in this release of Trinity 4750s, which were leased to North American Chemical.  This car is a stunner with its off-white paint color and distinctive red logo.  We call this car a Phase 4 model, because it shares a Phase 4 body and bolster arrangement, including the jacking pad design that is less long horizontally, and with an oval-shaped attachment hole in the center.  The DGHX Trinity 4750s include the Gravac gravity-pneumatic combo outlet gates, and the cars include shaker brackets on the outlet bays.  Up on the roof of the cars you will find an unpainted galvanized “slope up” US Morton-design running boards which also include end supports, and the fiberglass painted trough hatches that Trinity applied are replicated on our model.  The ends of the cars include a body-mount brake system, Universal 9300DC brake housing, tube-style defect card holders, and straight-handle coupler lift bars, all of which are accurately modeled on our Tangent replicas.  Underneath the cars, the centersill dividers have access holes in them like they should, and a “box style” AEI tag mount.  DGHX had a total of 700 Trinity 4750s, all built in 1993.  Photos show them on both coasts, in Florida, and all places in between.

Prototype Information:

The Trinity Industries “Pullman-Design” 4750 Covered Hopper, our new product release for October 2024.

Following nine years of continuous production, the Pullman-Standard 4750cf covered hopper was the largest mass-produced covered hopper design in North American railcar history. After Pullman-Standard’s demise in 1981, Trinity Industries acquired the design and production rights for the “Pullman-version” of the 4750 design (which killed Trinity’s own 4750 from the catalog). Shippers wanted the “Pullman-design” 4750 to be offered again. Produced between 1988 and 1995, Trinity produced the “Pullman-design” 4750 and met customer needs for this popular covered hopper. During that production period, Trinity made a series of refinements to the design. Many Class I railroads purchased the Trinity 4750, with BN, UP, and CSX ordering them in the thousands. Trinity 4750 cars continue to serve Class I, short line, and in lessee services today, hauling grains, fertilizer, salt, and other bulk commodities.
