Introduction

Atlas 20005790 HO Scale 50′ GARX Reefer CNW 50653

A joint effort from General American and Evans Products, these AAR class bunkerless refrigerator cars were produced beginning in the early 1950s. Featuring two large horizontal panels flanking a 77 door, these cars had a very unique appearance due to the horizontal rivet strip that joined the panels. With fewer seams than a standard box car, these cars were supposed to be less prone to rust and leakage. By 1959, over 1,000 of these boxcars were produced.

FEATURES:

• 8 plug with separate latch bars
• Overhanging diagonal panel roofs

• Accurate painting and printing
