{"product_id":"ath-1482","title":"N ATH 57' FGE Mechanical Reefer with Sound (ATH-1482)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eIntroducing a 57-foot mechanical refrigerated railcar model with sound, faithfully scaled from prototype drawings and field measurements. This fully assembled, ready-to-run reefer captures the distinctive look and proportions of mid-century freight cars, with authentic underframe detail including air brake reservoir, control valve, brake cylinder, and fuel tank. It offers two exhaust stack stylesâ€”straight pipe with a flapper and a T-shaped smokejackâ€”to match the prototype and era. The model rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels that operate on Code 55 and 80 rail, and uses body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers. With a highly detailed, injection-molded body and accurate paint and printing, the car is weighted for smooth operation on layout curves; minimum radius is 9Â¾ inches, with 11 inches recommended for trouble-free performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eSound-equipped models feature authentic sound recorded from an actual reefer unit, with the sound module cycling on and off and drawing minimal track power; volume is adjustable. A primed-for-grime option offers the look and feel of an in-service car, with faded base colors matched to the prototype and a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. Together, these details deliver a compelling, ready-to-run representation of a classic refrigerator car that enhances any freight operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47574358753332,"sku":"ATH-1482","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1482.jpg?v=1773319258","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1482","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
