This high - tech container uses composite materials (plastics and metals) and a 'picture frame' refrigeration unit.
Features:

This ATLAS HO Scale 40' refrigerated container set is great for your shipping models. To use it, simply place it on your model train tracks or in your shipping yard display. When handling, be gentle to avoid any damage to the detailed parts like the picture window refrigeration unit. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it off regularly. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading or warping of the composite materials. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to reattach them carefully.
