HO 40' Pfaudler Milk Car Reid Ice Cream #104 Plastic Model (ATH84714)

HO Scale 40' Pfaudler Milk Car in Reid Ice Cream livery is a detailed, ready-to-run model for HO layouts, recreating a vintage bulk-milk car used to haul dairy shipments in the early- to mid-20th century.

Rugged features for dependable operation include screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted body for smooth tracking. The car uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded body finished with authentic paint and printing. With an 11-inch minimum radius, it fits on most HO layouts. Prototype notes reflect the era: these cars, built in the 1920s by the Pfaudler Company and General American Car Company, carried two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks with a brine cooling system to keep milk at about 38 degrees Fahrenheit, rode on passenger-car trucks, and were commonly finished in Pullman green, hauling bulk milk well into the 1950s.
