N ATH 57' FGE Mechanical Reefer with Sound (ATH-1488)

This HO-scale 57-foot mechanical reefer with onboard SoundTraxx sound brings mid-century refrigerated freight to life on a layout. Fully assembled and ready to run, the model is scaled from prototype drawings and field measurements to deliver accurate proportions, convincing paint, and finely detailed underframe features.

Underframe details include elements such as cushion brake components, air brake reservoir, control valve, brake cylinder, and fuel tank. Two authentic exhaust stack styles—straight pipe with a flapper and a T-shaped smokejack—let you match the era. It rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels that perform smoothly on Code 55 and 80 rails and uses body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers for dependable operation. The onboard SoundTraxx sound system records authentic reefer audio that cycles on and off and offers adjustable volume, all while drawing minimal track power. For modelers seeking a weathered, in-service look, Primed for grime variants reproduce faded base colors and provide an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust.
