36' Wood Reefer - Assembled -- Atlantic & Pacific #12047 (yellow, brown, Multi Colored Herald)

Based on the reefers built by the General American Car Company for the Cudahy Packing Co. in 1925, these 36' reefers are similar to thousands of cars that transported meat, dairy, beer and food products well into the 1960s. The cars feature separately applied door hardware, grab irons, ladders and stirrups, AccuMate knuckle couplers and opening doors and hatches. Truss rods and two styles of ice hatches are applied as appropriate for each roadname. Like the prototypes, the cars feature colorful period schemes.
