From the late 1920s to the 1960s, wooden express reefers were a key part of America's long - distance passenger trains. They transported perishables to far - off markets and also carried mail, packages, and non - perishables. Easily recognized by their unique shapes and paint jobs, these cars had heavy steel underframes and special equipment for passenger service. Walthers' models are excellent replicas of the General American Express Reefers found on almost every railroad. They look amazing when running with streamlined or heavyweight cars. Factory - assembled and highly detailed, each model comes with appropriate Pullman or GSC trucks for the roadname. A complete set of add - on wire grab irons is also included for modelers seeking the highest level of realism.

Using this HO scale model is a breeze. Just place it on your model railroad track and let it run with other cars. When handling the model, be gentle as the details are delicate.
