HO 50' Smooth Side Mechanical Reefer NYMX #1020 (RND-1454)

HO-scale 50-foot smooth-side mechanical reefer car, fully assembled and ready to run, brings mid-century rail refrigeration to HO layouts. This detailed model recreates the era when mechanical reefers replaced ice bunkers, offering an authentic addition for operation and display on a hobby railroad.

The car features a separate brake wheel, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 33-inch machined wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted undercarriage for smooth, reliable running. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and painted and printed for realistic decoration. Designed for HO track with a minimum radius of 18 inches, it delivers era-appropriate appearance and operation, reflecting the shift from ice-based to mechanical refrigeration that characterized 1950s–1960s freight service.
