Walthers 50 REA Express Reefers - Ready to run
Accurately scaled
NMRA couplers
Standard draft gear box
Low friction, nonmagnetic, needlepoint metal axles that don't require lubrication
Detailed engineering plastic truck sideframes
Lines available are:
Santa Fe (SKU 932-6244)
REA Express - Chromate Green (SKU932-6243)
Rushing priority perishables between stations, express reefers were found at the front of the fastest passenger runs as well as on specialized mail and express trains. And when some highly perishable crops such as strawberries were in season, solid trains of express reefers were run, often as second sections of the most important passenger trains. Based on a series of cars first ordered in 1957, the prototypes were some of the last ice-cooled reefers constructed and were also unusual for the time in that they were built with riveted instead of welded sides.
These cars would look perfect alongside your Reefer Express Agency building.
