Class RR-60 Mechanical Reefer 4-Pack - Ready to Run -- Santa Fe #2 (orange, blue, black, San Francisco Chief Slogan)

Prototypes for the Rapido Trains N Scale Santa Fe RR-56 Mechanical Reefer were introduced in 1955. Based on the previous RR-54 class of refrigerated boxcars, the RR-56 class incorporated lessons learned from the older series of cars to build and operate its first large fleet of mechanical refrigerator cars. The RR-56 were classed as "All Purpose" MTC (Mechanical Temperature Control) cars by the Santa Fe Railroad. The fleet numbered 200 cars numbers 2000 - 2188, 2500 - 2510 in the series. Delivered with SFRD reporting marks, these were changed in 1963 to SFRP but retained their original car numbers. In 1958, Santa Fe built the RR-60 & RR-61 class of reefers, built to the same external standards as the RR-56 class. Internally they carried different insulation and so were identified as Super Insulated "All Purpose" Mechanical Temperature Controlled cars. Detail features include separate door posts, door latches and coupler cut levers; fully-detailed underframe including piping and equipment including detailed cushion draft gear; two roof hatches for either open or closed operation, see-through side grills and a trane diesel generator. Santa Fe RR-56/60/61 Mechanical Reefers come decorated in authentic schemes with multiple roadnumbers and are perfect for adding variety to your 1950s to 1980s freight trains. They're part of the entire line of Rapido Trains N Scale freight cars.
