HO PFE R-40-27 Reefer Car Single Car #2 (RPI196002A)

HO Scale Pacific Fruit Express R-40-27 Reefer Car, Single Car No. 2 is a detailed HO-scale plastic model of a classic ice-cooled refrigerator car used by the Pacific Fruit Express network to move perishables across the United States. The 1957-built R-40-27 class was among the last ice-cooled reefers, and this Rapido release captures the era in the 1957 PFE scheme, offering a faithful representation of a single-car example.

Designed for HO-scale layouts and display, this model is accurately scaled from prototype blueprints and field measurements. It features separate wire grab irons, correct running boards and brake wheels, and properly matched cooling fan housings per road number, with positionable roof hatches to show the car's operational details. It uses Rapido Lincoln-Washington semi-scale metal couplers, free-rolling trucks with turned metal wheels, and crisp, authentic decoration. Multiple road numbers are provided for each paint scheme, making it easy to assemble a realistic PFE fleet on your layout.
