50' Wood Express Reefers add Variety to HO Scale Passenger Consists
Wooden express reefers were a fixture of America's long-distance passenger
trains from the late 1920s to the 60s. Hustling perishables to distant
markets, they also carried mail, packages and nonperishable items. Easily
identified by their unique shape and paint schemes, the cars also had heavy
steel underframes, special trucks, brake gear, steam lines and signal
equipment needed for passenger service.
Walthers all-new models are faithful replicas of the General American
Express Reefers seen on virtually every railroad, and look great with
streamlined or heavyweight cars. Factory assembled and finely detailed,
each model features Pullman or GSC trucks as appropriate for each roadname.
Also included is a complete set of add-on wire grab irons for modelers who
demand ultimate realism. Each scheme is available in single and limited-run
two-packs with three different numbers, so you can to build a fleet in
minutes.
