O 36' Wood Refrigerator Cars

The 36' reefer model is a highly detailed
reproduction of the car that was a mainstay in the meatpacking
industry during the steam era. Based upon cars built by the General
American Car Company for the Cudahy Packing Co. in 1925, the 36' wood
reefer is representative of the thousands of cars that transported
meat, dairy, beer and food products well into the 1960's.
