Heavy Duty Tractor Set by Wiking

The Atlas Trainman N Scale 50' Mechanical Reefer, introduced in the 1950s, was designed for transporting refrigerated goods. Post-World War II, the growing demand for frozen foods necessitated a shift from traditional ice reefers. Companies like Fruit Growers Express, Pacific Fruit Express, and Santa Fe pioneered mechanical refrigeration. Fruit Growers Express led with over 175 mechanical cars by 1952. Designs evolved through the 1950s and 60s, with 50' reefers remaining a staple until the 1970s. This ready-to-run model features an injection-molded body, plastic details, molded coal load, smooth paint, crisp lettering, and AccuMate(R) knuckle couplers.
