HO 50' Ice Bunker Reefer PRR #1816 Plastic Model (ATH50038)

HO-scale 50-foot Ice-Bunker Reefer Car for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) is a detailed model of a mid-20th-century refrigerated freight car. Ice-bunker reefers carried perishable cargo such as dairy, meat, and vegetables at controlled temperatures using ice for cooling. The model faithfully recreates the era with PRR livery, making it a convincing addition to HO-scale layouts.

Fully assembled and ready to run, the car is weighted for smooth operation and stable tracking on HO layouts. It features separately applied end tack boards and door latch bars, molded and wire-form grab irons, stirrup steps and recessed ladders, and positionable Santa Fe-style reversed ice hatches with etched stops. The detailing continues with precision-machined metal wheels in RP25 contours, McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, a photo-etched brake platform, and a minimum turning radius of 18 inches, delivering a highly realistic freight-car scene.
