Bring one of the most distinctive giants of Southern railroading to your layout with this premium, 3D-printed model of the Greenville 100-Ton HS-46 Woodchip Hopper.
Originally built by the Greenville Steel Car Company for the Southern Railway between September and November of 1970 (Series 133200-133449), these massive, high-sided hoppers were a common sight moving woodchips to paper mills all across the Southeast. Known for their towering presence and immense capacity, this model captures every detail of the iconic prototype.
Precision Resin Printing: Features razor-sharp rivet lines, realistic exterior side bracing, and crisp structural detail that perfectly captures the "billboard" look of these towering hoppers.
Ready for the Workbench: Printed in high-quality resin with all structural supports cleanly removed. Skip the tedious clean-up work and go straight to customizing.
Comprehensive Parts Kit: Includes the main hopper body, prototype-accurate brake platform, separate brake wheel, and secure coupler box covers.
Easy Finishing: Arrives cleaned and cured—simply apply your choice of primer, paint, and decals to match the classic Southern Railway look, a more modern road such as NS and CSX or your own freelance line.

💡 Modeler's Tip: Woodchip cars were rarely clean! To truly capture the look of the 1970s and 80s, give your painted model a heavy weathering wash of road grime and realistic woodchip dust around the top chords and side braces.
Whether you're modeling a heavy manifest freight rolling through the Carolinas or a dedicated paper mill branch line, this massive Greenville hopper adds unmistakable era-authentic character to your roster.
