N SF RR-56 Mech Reefer Super Chief Slogan Model (RPI561001A)

An N-scale model of the Santa Fe RR-56 Mechanical Reefer, finished with the Super Chief slogan, designed to bring mid-century refrigeration operations to life on an N-scale layout.

The RR-56 class debuted in 1955 as Santa Fe's first large fleet of mechanical reefers, built on lessons from the RR-54 cars, with the RR-60 and RR-61 classes added in 1958 to expand the program. This faithful model is based on original blueprints and photos and includes authentic details such as separate door posts, door latches, and coupler cut levers, a fully detailed underframe with piping and equipment, cushion draft gear, two roof hatches for open or closed operation, see-through side grills, and a Trane diesel generator. It offers a highly realistic N-scale representation that enhances layout realism and operations for serious hobbyists.
