NEW MODEL!
O SCALE 40' WOOD REEFER
Prototype Information:
This highly detailed model is based on the 40' wood refrigerator cars
built by Pullman for the Northern Refrigerator Car Co. in 1930. With its rooftop ice
hatches, USRA-style fish belly underframe and vertical brake shaft, it is representative
of the thousands of similar cars that were built during the "Billboard" era of
American railroads. It is a true Steam Era Classic.
(Side door detail)
Available in 2-rail as well as 3-rail, these
ready-to-run reefers have state-of-the-art detailing and construction. Two road numbers
will be available per road name.
(Roof-top ice hatches open just like on the real
car)
