In the early 1980s, Greenville Steel Car Company introduced a new hopper for powdered materials. Cement proved to be too heavy for the car, so a slightly smaller version was created for cement service. This smaller car was also sold as a general-purpose covered hopper and can be found carrying plastic pellets, roofing granules, flour, grain and more.
 
These HO Scale models come fully assembled with a detailed body, roof hatches, a thin profile roofwalk and more. Cars in these limited-run two-packs also feature different numbers from the single car, so you can easily expand your fleet. And for those who want more detail, each car includes a complete set of wire grab irons is included and molded drill starter points on the body simplify installation. Working knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks round out each car.
