Great for hauling all sorts of meats and perishables ... or for delivering cold beer to the thirsty coal miners and lumberjacks along the line! Early reefers used lots of ice to keep the contents cold. The hatches could be kept open to "air out" an empty car or to increase air flow over the ice, or kept closed to keep the contents cold in hot weather.
Hatches on our kit are molded separately, so you can position them open or closed ... or some open and some closed.
Kit features free-standing grab-irons, ladder rungs and roofwalks to provide great 3-D and shadow effects ... plus truss rods, brakewheel, foot stirrups and more.
- 20' Wood-Sheathed Refrigerator Cars are available in singles and two packs.
- Perfect intermediate size! 20' long x 7' wide scale. Hefty proportions with the "hunkered down" look already built in. These cars mix well with larger and small car types.
- 12" minimum radius with smooth track; 15" radius suggested.
- Trucks and couplers sold separately: We suggest BVM T-2 trucks with Kadee #5 couplers as shown. If you prefer larger wheels, use BVM T-1 trucks with Kadee #42 couplers.
- Kit requires assembly! You'll need paint, glue (ACC or 5-minute epoxy) and basic modeling tools.
