HO 40' Pfaudler Milk Car Reid Ice Cream #102 Plastic Model (ATH84713)
An HO-scale, 40-foot Pfaudler milk car representing Reid Ice Cream, this detailed plastic model recreates a classic bulk-milk carrier used on U.S. railroads from the 1920s through the 1950s. It’s designed to add authentic period detail to an HO layout and to run smoothly on standard track.
Features include screw-mounted trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable rolling, and added weight to help the model track smoothly. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide authentic coupling. The injection-molded, highly detailed body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and a minimum 11-inch radius ensures compatibility with many HO layouts. In real life, these milk cars were built in the 1920s by the Pfaudler Company and General American Car Company as bulk-milk carriers, carrying two 6,000-gallon glass-lined tanks and using a brine cooling system to keep milk at 38 degrees Fahrenheit; they rode on passenger-car trucks and were often painted Pullman green.
