HO PFE R-40-27 Reefer Plastic Model (RPI196006)

HO Scale Pacific Fruit Express R-40-27 Refrigerator Car (Plastic Model) — This HO-scale plastic replica faithfully recreates the R-40-27 class of Pacific Fruit Express reefers, a staple of mid-20th century freight service. This plastic release marks the first plastic model of these cars, giving HO-scale enthusiasts a historically accurate piece to add to railroad layouts or dioramas that depict the era of ice-cooled refrigeration.

Designed for realistic operation and display, the model captures period details such as separate wire grab irons, correct running boards and brake wheels, and authentic cooling fan housings matched to each road number. It features positionable roof hatches, Rapido semi-scale metal couplers, free-rolling trucks with turned metal wheels, and accurate paint and decoration. With multiple road numbers available per scheme, it enables a convincing roster of PFE reefers on an HO layout.
