N ATH 40' Pfaudler Wood Milk Car (ATH-2476)

The N ATH 40' Pfaudler Wood Milk Car is a striking model that captures the essence of unique freight cars used during the 1920s to 1950s. Designed by the Pfaudler Company and the General American Car Company, these milk cars were built for efficient transportation of bulk milk. Each car featured two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks and a brine cooling system that maintained the milk at a constant 38 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring freshness during transit. The cars were commonly painted in Pullman green to harmonize with the era's passenger cars, making them a wonderful addition to any model railroad set.

This model boasts various features designed for optimal performance and realism. It comes with screw-mounted trucks for stability and highly-detailed, injection-molded bodies. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth rolling under standard operations. For enhanced functionality, the car is equipped with body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Additionally, it has been painted and printed for realistic decoration and is weighted for optimum performance.

With a minimum radius requirement of 11 inches, the N ATH 40' Pfaudler Wood Milk Car is a practical choice for modelers seeking to replicate accurate historical freight transport with authentic detailing.
