HO 50' Smooth Side Mechanical Reefer WFMX #138 (RND-1447)

An HO-scale 50-foot Smooth-Side Mechanical Reefer, this ready-to-run model reproduces mid-20th-century mechanical refrigeration cars used to haul frozen foods.

Features include a separate brake wheel, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 33-inch machined wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted design for smooth, reliable operation on HO track. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and painted and printed for realistic decoration, and the minimum radius is 18 inches. This car reflects the era when diesel-mechanical refrigeration began replacing ice bunkers, with many railroads receiving such 50-foot reefers in the 1950s and 1960s, making it a faithful addition to mid-century freight scenes.
