PRODUCT MANUAL
RIVET COUNTER HO SCALE TRINITY 31K TANK CAR
Our Rivet Counter ™ brand strives to create the most accurately detailed model
trains imaginable. The real-world counterpart is meticulously researched to
ensure prototype
fidelity. Each model features numerous factory applied partsincluding
railroad, road number, and era-specific ™ details whenever possible.
Since 2012, TrinityRail® has built thousands of 31K Gallon Tank Cars with head
shields to meet the growing demands of the oil industry. This tank car is
easily recognized by its unique trapezoid-shaped end shields. Mile-long unit
trains with 100+ cars crisscross the United States and Canada daily to deliver
crude from the oil fields of North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana to refineries
on the East, Gulf and West Coasts. As demand for shipping crude oil by rail
has declined, these cars are now carrying ethanol, gasoline, petroleum
distillates, and other commodities. In addition, these cars can often be found
in mixed freight trains.
