{"product_id":"ath-1490","title":"N ATH 57' FGE Mechanical Reefer with Sound (ATH-1490)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003e57-foot mechanical reefer with sound from Fruit Growers Express (FGE) is a ready-to-run, prototypically accurate refrigerated freight car designed to model mid-century perishables service. Reproduced from prototype drawings and field measurements, it captures authentic underframe detail, two era-specific exhaust stack styles, and period-appropriate features such as body-mounted knuckle couplers for realistic operation on a model railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eRiding on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels, this model is weighted for smooth performance on Code 55 and 80 track. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and fully painted and printed for realism. Sound-equipped versions feature onboard sound recorded from an actual reefer unit, with volume control and automatic on\/off cycling; other variants are primed for grime, offering faded base colors that serve as a starting point for weathering. A minimum turning radius of 9 3\/4 inches is required, with 11 inches recommended for reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606186311732,"sku":"ATH-1490","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1490.jpg?v=1774275449","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1490","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
