{"product_id":"rpi196001a","title":"HO PFE R-40-27 Reefer 1957 Model (RPI196001A)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale plastic model recreates a Pacific Fruit Express refrigerated car from 1957, the R-40-27 class used to haul perishable freight across the United States. This Rapido HO-scale release captures the era’s ice-cooled reefers with period door arrangements and cooling features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDetails include true-to-scale construction, separate wire grab irons, correct running boards and brake wheels, proper cooling fan housings per road number, and positionable roof hatches. It rides on free-rolling trucks with turned metal wheels and uses semi-scale metal couplers for smooth operation. Accurate paint and decoration are applied, and multiple road numbers are offered for each scheme, making it easy to build a historically authentic roster of PFE reefers. In service, these ice-cooled cars carried perishables coast-to-coast, from Western and Midwestern farms to markets in the East and Southeast, a mid-century railway story this model helps bring to life on HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rapido Trains (RPI)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47944365539380,"sku":"RPI196001A","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/RPI196001A.jpg?v=1782408714","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/rpi196001a","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
