N 40' Pfaudler Milk Car C&NW 1956 Plastic Model (ATH24026)

An N-scale 40-foot Pfaudler Milk Car reproduces a Chicago & North Western bulk-milk carrier from the 1920s. The real car carried two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks with a brine cooling system to keep milk at about 38 degrees Fahrenheit, and this model faithfully captures that purpose with a detailed injection-molded body and authentic decoration for dairy-era layouts.

Key details include screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, a weighted chassis for smooth operation, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for realistic coupling. The model’s minimum radius is 11 inches, enabling it to run on tight N-scale curves, while the painted and printed finish conveys era-appropriate color and livery, often seen in Pullman green on cars of this type.
