Get ready to cool down your HO scale railroad with Walthers Mainline's 50-foot AAR Mechanical Refrigerator Cars. Based on cars built by the Burlington's Havelock Shops, these replicas were in use on many railroads from the 1960s to the early 2000s. Ideal for servicing cold storage facilities and grocery wholesalers, they were designed to transport all sorts of temperature-sensitive food products. Key features of these exterior-post mechanical reefers include: a limited run of this road number, so order now! They match prototype dimensions, have a diagonal panel roof with a separately applied exhaust stack, detailed plug doors, refrigerator inlet and outlet grilles, late improved Dreadnaught ends, a see-through running board, a highly detailed underbody with fuel tanks and brake gear, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, correct 33' RP-25 turned metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) magnetic metal knuckle couplers.
Using your Walthers Mainline 50-foot AAR Mechanical Refrigerator Car is easy. Simply place it on your HO scale railroad track and connect it to other cars using the Proto MAX(TM) magnetic metal knuckle couplers. This car is great for creating a realistic scene of transporting temperature-sensitive goods on your model railroad. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid damaging the detailed parts like the plug doors and the exhaust stack. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean the wheels and the underbody to prevent dust and debris from affecting its performance. Store it in a dry and cool place when not in use. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to fix them, but make sure to do it carefully so as not to damage the car.
