KIT #107: |
G.T.W. Wood Freight Reefer (HO Scale) |
|
| |

|
|
|
This
kit builds into a model of a Grand Trunk Western reefer, which is
highly detailed and quite colourful, with orange sides, red ends,
and an aluminum-painted roof. The kit was developed from drawings
and photos by Robert Smith of a prototype car, one of 100 built
originally for the New York Despatch Refrigerator Line in 1937, and
transferred to the parent GTW in the 1940's and 1950's. The castings
are from rigid polyurethane, which is easily worked, and joined with
ACC glue. They feature rabetted edges, which make it easy to produce
a square, strong model. Included in the set are parts to make
delicate but strong corner ladders. The assembly instructions, which
are illustrated with Robert Smith’s drawings and photos,
are quite complete.
