HO 50' Smooth Side Mechanical Reefer SFRD #2068 (RND-1443)

HO scale 50-foot Smooth-Side Mechanical Reefer car, designed to replicate mid-century mechanical refrigeration on HO layouts. These reefers replaced ice bunkers in frozen-food service, delivering more consistent temperatures in transit. The model arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with a detailed injection-molded body and realistic paint and lettering to match prototype appearance.

Features include a separate brake wheel, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and 33-inch machined wheels with RP25 contours, all weighted for steady, reliable operation. Painted and printed for realistic decoration, this 50-foot reefer is built for HO-scale use on typical layouts and can negotiate curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it a practical addition to mid-century freight consists.
