NORWEST KITS & CASTINGS

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.
