Running boards feature wood grain detail
Die-cast metal, sprung and equalized trucks
In the twenties, the Youngstown Steel Co. started to make replacement prefabricated steel sides for wooden boxcars. These became popular during the Great Depression as capital for new construction became scarce and by rebuilding existing cars from components keep the railroads own employees working. Also, the tax laws of the day favored rebuilding over new cars.

This car is modeled after the 40' wooden, end bunker, ice cooled refrigerator cars built for the NWX (Northwestern Refrigerator Line Company) 7000 -7999 series in 1928 by American Car & Foundry. This car is similar to thousands of others built during the 20's and 30's that were used as rolling “Billboards” during the most colorful era of American Railroading. In July 1934 the ICC outlawed the painting of billboards as an illegal rebate to the leassee. After that, the leassee name could be no taller than 12".
This model is molded in rugged ABS plastic simulating the all wood construction of the sides, ends and roof just like the real “Billboard Reefers”, side and end ladders with music wire rungs, USRA style fish belly center sill, KC brake system with a Vertical brake shaft, die-cast metal sprung trucks and opening roof hatches.
