The Walthers Mainline 910-56353 brings the Meridian & Bigbee #2020 73' Greenville 7,000 cubic foot wood chip hopper to HO scale railroading. Wood chips rank among the lightest commodities carried by rail, yet their sheer bulk calls for an oversized car, and Greenville met that need with this high-capacity design that shuttled chips from sawmills to paper mills. Prototypes of this type went into service in the early 1970s and many still roll today, making the car a natural fit across a wide range of layout eras.

Offered ready to run, this Meridian & Bigbee #2020 model captures the prototype with prototypical interior bracing, authentic door latch detail, and a full set of separately applied brake gear. A heavy die-cast metal underframe adds weight for dependable tracking whether the car runs loaded or empty, while 100-ton trucks ride on correct 36" turned metal RP-25 wheelsets. Proto MAX magnetic metal knuckle couplers are fitted at both ends, so item 910-56353 is ready to couple up and switch straight from the box as part of a one-time run of these road numbers.
