N 40' Pfaudler Milk Car Plastic Model (ATH24036)

This 40-foot N-scale Pfaudler Milk Car plastic model captures a bulk-milk car from the 1920s and is ideal for model railroad layouts and display. It faithfully reproduces two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks and a brine cooling system designed to keep milk at 38°F.

Key details include screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth running, weighting for stable operation, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. The highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and the model is designed for a minimum turning radius of 11 inches. The prototype cars were built in the 1920s by the Pfaudler Company and General American Car Company, rode on passenger-car trucks, were often finished in Pullman green, and continued serving bulk milk shipments well into the 1950s.
