Let's see your Refrigerator Cars

@Lionlman,

Thanks.  Now I know what to look for.  I actually belong to that TCA chapter, but I just joined this year.

I bought mine off of eBay, and I've seen another one sell a few months ago.  They come up for sale every once in a while.

Here are a few I've built over the years,

My small collection of Lionel steel sided reefers

@jimpolicastro I've always liked that scene on your railroad.

Atlas reefers have outstanding detail IMO:

And let's not forget these classic Postwar Lionel milk refrigerator operating cars:

ACL bought 50 steel 54' ice-bunker reefers from AC&F in late 1947 and early 1948.  They were initially painted in the ACL's purple and silver scheme, but in the 1960s repainted in their green scheme.

Sunset brass model.

Only have one refrigerator car on my pike at the moment, a kit bashed MTH operating reefer in a X-Files fantasy scheme.

Here's my new Lionel Pacific Fruit Express reefer, on the way to deliver fresh produce to the people of Boston.

@texgeekboy - Sorry for misidentifying the "Blue Bell" refr as  Lionel...I was working from memory which is not too good these days !   @Lionlman - is correct it was a 2017 MTH offering from the TCA Lone Star Division as Blue Bell is a very popular (and good) ice cream here in central Texas.  Sorry for the mistake.

I just started my refrigerated milk car frenzy...these are a few I have picked up in the last few months.  I have 2 of the Car Works flats with Milk Containers and 2 of the Bordens Milk Cars, 1 PSC, 1 Lionel.  There are a few I can't find pictures of...I need to work on my display shelf as I start work on the layout.  Looks like I need to do some painting also!

found some more kit builts and a few Atlas reefers lately

Are insulated boxcars allowed ??

We have two reefer topics going now.
